Leave it to Keith Richards and The X-Pensive Winos to bring the roots and soul when we need it most. A reignition of a familiar track as co-passenger, we travel across the timeless American South. Paying homage to the people and places we love, “Hate it When You Leave” comes at a time when families, friends, and lovers have been kept apart.
Through this portrait of rural America, a swaggering drawl of a beat chugs along to the rhythms of being on the road and the bittersweet tug of the heart strings. With all goodbyes, there’s a sweetness in the reminder of our affection, in the knowing that we’ll meet again.
A ballad-pic with melodic compositions of livelihood and grain and a forward propulsion that tells us with a sweet simplicity, we will move through these times. And we will say hello again.
