We discovered this on one of the recent free Uncut cover disks and it has gone on to become an absolute fave of the youngest mackerel Sprat. It will also be making its debut tonight on Barry-Sean’s weekly dominoes playlist for his regular match with Americana loving, wonderfully bewhiskered Big Dave Floyd (8-7 to Barry-Sean at the moment if you’re interested).

American Ride is simply the best roadtrip song we’ve heard in many a moon, impassioned and infectious, it is the first single from veteran singer-songwriter Willie Nile’s new album of the same name that sees a release next week on Loud And Proud Records.
