SINGLE RELEASE
JESSE SMATHERS
“If It Ain’t Broke (Don’t Fix It)”
DESCRIPTION:
Jesse Smathers, guitarist and singer of the legendary Lonesome River Band, is back with an infectious slice of country wisdom in his new single. “If It Ain’t Broke (Don’t Fix It)” is a tongue-in-cheek, good-humored excursion into the heart of bluegrass. It’s a common saying that everyone has heard. However, the family in this bluegrass ballad clearly didn’t get the memo.
