Moonsville Collective just released their new single "Helen Highway" from their forthcoming album, "A Hundred Highways", and to celebrate we asked Corey Adams to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
"Helen Highway" is an homage to our 2014 record, Heavy Howl, and to the band that put the record together. I began writing this song in 2015 when we were touring for that record, with six of us sitting in the back of some Toyota mid-sized something, learning about everything together as we cut a line across the center of the country to Tennessee and back. We were a spirited crew, living life to its fullest and never being cheated out of a good time. This iteration of the band must've played 200 shows together. We knew the good, bad and ugly in each of our lives and abilities, but managed to have a really good run over the course of a few years. I fell in love with each of them. (continue)
