Wanna feel chills up and down your spine? Download our free MP3 of the Day, “Rain In The Valley,” from the forthcoming album by the Steel Wheels.
Close your eyes and listen to “Rain In The Valley.” Can you smell the moss growing in the trees? Feel the stifling humidity, like a wet blanket thrown across your shoulders, so heavy you can’t lift yourself from your seat?
Can you feel the wet red clay sticking to your feet as you trudge a lonesome road into an abandoned town? Can you hear the glass bottles rattling in the trees, the ghosts of Southern gospel in the air?
Can you hear the the lost conversations of old men playing checkers over warm beer, the matronly women sharing gossip over laundry fences, the sounds of dirty faced kids exploring woods long paved over?
Can you hear the whole of a lost era wrapped into a three minute, 34-second song so beautiful it takes your breath away?
We can.
“Rain In The Valley” will be found on the Steal Wheels forthcoming album Lay Down, Lay Low, scheduled for release in March.
