Empty Room

Live cover of Don't let us get sick by Warren Zevon. 
Recorded at Subzero studios in Coleraine, Northern Ireland
Warren Zevon was one of the best songwriters in the world. I miss him, and wish he was still around making music. His sense of humour was on point, and his melodies were beautiful.

Don't Let Us Get Sick (Warren Zevon cover)

Gary Burr introduced me to Sean and this was the first track we wrote in Nashville, aided by a quick Skype session to finish up the last verse. Sean is one of the best young writers in Nashville and makes every idea I come up with even better.
