Chuck Ragan Duets With Paige Overton On New Single “One More Shot”

With the release of the singles Echo The Halls and Wild In Our Ways, it’s safe to say that Love And Lore, the upcoming solo album from Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music), takes a big step aside from what you’d expect from the folk troubadour, punk pioneer and fly-fisherman extraordinaire. His already robust command of Americana and folk gets a boost of adrenaline, propelling him into craggy indie rock territory. His authenticity and that gritty, instantly recognizable voice are intact, as can be evidenced by the brand new single One More Shot. The track finds Chuck expanding his wings again, this time with a strong honky tonk flavor. Recruiting Paige Overton (Paige And The Overtones) to share the microphone, the duet is a new wrinkle for him. Though he has shared vocals in his legendary punk band Hot Water Music and during his Revival Tour collaborative jamborees, this is a first in his studio output. A song about heartbreak and standing on that stubborn precipice between stubbornness and apology.

“There’s so much heartbreak that comes with this life and I’m not just talking about myself, I’m talking about the people around me. As someone who spends a lot of time away from my loved ones, there’s a lot of darkness at times and a lot of questions—and a lot of these songs are very much reflective of that and very much about therapy and finding peace and solace in nature, on the water and with loved ones.” (Chuck Ragan)
