Mud on the Dial

Modern country-rock with a gritty swagger; mid-tempo groove built on twangy electric guitars, steady kick and snare, and a muscular bass line. Verses stay tight and close, almost spoken, with subtle organ pads; chorus opens wide with stacked male vocals, bright acoustic strums, and a singalong top line. Touches of slide guitar answer vocal phrases, and a brief instrumental lift before the last chorus pushes the energy for a big, arms-out finish.
