DESCRIPTION:
Lonesome River Band brings a bluesy swing to “Hit the Nail on the Head.” Written by Mark Brinkman and Frank Poindexter, the track opens with Sammy Shelor’s Scruggs-style banjo. The song dives into the story of a jilted lover who has to admit his ex was right about his misery. Adam Miller’s laconic lead vocals and Jesse Smathers’ tenor harmonies anchor the heartbreak, joined by solos from fiddler Mike Hartgrove and Telecaster picker Rod Riley.
