He got some kids that go to his church and he them and sent it to me. The chorus happens kind of in a round so I got Buddy to get two or three kids to sing on it.

We really love it, and we’ve got a kid’s choir singing on it. “It’s almost a reggae gospel kind of song and has a little bit of a gospel melody to it. I was on the phone with him and Buddy while they were doing it, and when we got the vocal back, me, Howard and Randy opened it up and it was like Christmas, ‘Oh listen to this! Listen to this!’”Īnother standout track is “Sunshine State of Mind.” “This is a really cool tune that Howard started and I helped him finish it,” Bellamy says. “He recorded it at Buddy Hyatt’s studio in Hendersonville. “We decided to get John to sing on this song and it turned out really great,” says Bellamy. ⁣Our brand new EP Bucket List will be out this Friday, July 10!

A lot of people now have a hard row to hoe because the songs and voices from that era were just monumental.” “It’s about losing people like Kenny and Charlie and people like that because we’re getting to that era where everybody is aging and that era of country music is going to be real hard to replace. It was in the studio because we had actually used it on a track,” says Bellamy, noting this song is the only one on the EP with a more serious tone. “When Kenny Rogers died I saw the tambourine that Kenny had given us. John Anderson joins the Bellamys on “No Country Music for Old Men,” a song that was inspired by Kenny Rogers’ passing. I can guarantee you they won’t play it on the radio,” he says with a laugh. “It’s a good ole fashioned shit kicker, but it’s a break-up song, a real direct break up song.

When we decided to finish the EP, Howard said we should cut it so we went ahead and did a track on it as well as the acoustic version.”īellamy says the title track isn’t a candidate for radio airplay, but he thinks fans will appreciate it. It got quite a few hits and we were just going to do that with it. “Howard and I actually recorded it on my iPhone sitting in the back of his camper and put it up on social media. “I wrote it maybe 10 days after everybody got grounded and was home,” Bellamy says. The first single is “Rednecks (Lookin’ for Paychecks),” a humorous take on current economic woes.
