Moon Tooth is now streaming the bluesier version of their recent single "Carry Me Home," whose original version is a little more straightforward and heavy.
"Rather than doing another acoustic version of a track, we thought it would be fun to pay a real tribute to the influences that inspired the song in the first place," said guitarist Nick Lee. "Hendrix, Allmans, Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Ray Charles, and Stevie Ray Vaughan all came up while we were tracking. We brought in Gabi Rose for backing vocals and our friend Jess DeBellis brought it to another level with the keys.
"Jess hasn't played on anything with us since he tracked the organ on our 2016 song 'Igneous,' so it was the perfect opportunity to utilize his tremendous talent again. We hope folks have as much fun listening as we had creating the 'Blue Amp Version' of 'Carry Me Home.'"
