Midwestern Rock band, Red Wanting Blue are thrilled to unveil their new single, "I've Got a Feeling it Hurts," a stunning, sonic duet with former tour-mate, LIZ BRASHER, out today.
Red Wanting Blue originally formed in Athens, OH in 1996. Over the last 20+ years, this hard-working band has released eleven albums, including The Wanting, which came out last April. When deciding to hit the road last spring, it was their producer, acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge, who suggested Liz Brasher as the tour opener. The quintet are long-time fans of creating a 'community with the bands around us' as explained by lead singer, Scott Terry. "We have always enjoyed taking bands that we are friends with, bringing them on the road and then inviting them to join us on-stage."
It was during the California leg of that tour that the band invited Liz to join them for a duet of the heart-wrenching song, "I've Got a Feeling it Hurts." Liz didn't just learn the verse and join in, instead, she took the opportunity to create more of a duet than was originally written. The result was an electrifying, live delivery, so much so that radio programmers and fans starting asking about this 'alternate version'.
Scott commented,"Liz really brought her personality and style to the song, and by doing so, gave the song a whole new dynamic. Once she was there, it was hard to imagine the song without her." An idea sprang forth, with the band and Liz both in Nashville for AmericanaFest last September, why not record the new version?
Liz adds, "Being able to see a song transform in-front of our eyes every night with audiences demanding to hear it again is such a unique experience. It felt like the guys in RWB & I had always done this song together - it was just so natural! I'm thankful to have been a part of it and for them to have trusted me with their song."
Over the course of the band's eleven studio albums, they have brought their passionate, unforgettable live show to every city and town that would have them, blazing their own distinctive trail through the American heartland as they built up the kind of fanatically dedicated audiences normally reserved for arena acts.
