Jason Lytle is on tour with Band of Horses and prior to setting out, Ben Bridwell sent him a “vocal, drum, guitar” demo that he’d recorded in a hotel in Milan asking if he wanted to “add some whatever“.

Jason says he proceeded to “slather sonic goo and build and mix upon it until he suspected the ghost of Townes Van Zandt was starting to get annoyed“… He goes on to say, “its a beautiful song chosen and sung by Ben and I had a great time working on it.  It’s called “Don’t You Take It Too Bad.”
