And of course, the YouTube link – Bourbon For The Hurtin’ – Lyrics Video

Here is the lyric video, if you have not yet got a chance to see it!

It was a collaboration of efforts of me and a few of my friends…

First, it was a co-write between me, Aaron Crane and Ursula Ratliff (who brought the idea to us).

Finally, we took it to our friend Jordan Bailey at 410 Music for recording and co-producing.

Here’s a pic of Jordan doing what he loves – laying down some funky bass on stage and singing his heart out.

410 Music is just a ways up the road, nestled within the heart of Corydon, Indiana.

Just outside the doors of the studio, you can feel the love of this small town – sometimes we might even walk around the corner to get a famous homemade milkshake from Butt Drugs!

But most important – the music…

This track was fully intended to immerse you in the classic country experience that is missing in so much of today’s releases…”Bourbon For The Hurtin'”…

It began with a relatable character, telling his story about how true love walked away and left him feeling alone…

The only thing she left behind was my pile of dirty clothes

It seems she’s washed her hands of me – got what’s coming, I suppose

For the last few weeks, I should’ve seen the writing on the wall

After all the messages  I’ve left, she won’t return my call

Thought I had the right woman – things were great from the very start

It was plain to see that girl had stolen my heart

Now my future plans have all gone up in smoke

Many of us in his shoes may have handled this scenario in quite different ways, but our main character is a man of simplicity…he knows what will do the trick to handle how he is feeling…

And a shot of that Wild Turkey is my one and only hope

He proceeds into the chorus with a tale as old as time…a song that so many have sung along to…

Gonna need some bourbon for the hurtin’

Keep ‘em pourin’ that’s for certain

The medicine’s workin’

This numbness just feels perfect

Tonight the only thing I need is some bourbon for the hurtin’

This man knows that things went wrong, and he has resigned himself to the fate of losing that true love…and it sounds by the way he talks, this ain’t his first rodeo on the 80 proof medicine.  He continues with his thoughts about what all is going on…

We were gonna be together for the rest of time 

Today she turned her back on me, and left it all behind

There’s nothing left but lonely, is how it appears

I’m hoping that this bourbon will wash away my tears 

A very simple approach to dealing with the situation…maybe not the best, but in his shoes, it is the most reasonable way to handle such a painful moment.

He proceeds with a final thought on the matter…

I could choose to drown in this pain

Maybe soon I’ll make a change

But tonight…

I have a feeling that our friend will be back soon at the bar for some more medicine to come!

Anyways…that’s a short synopsis of our newest song, “Bourbon For The Hurtin'”!

I have listed multiple platforms where our song can be downloaded and streamed, but I want to leave you with a final consideration…
