“The inspiration for this song came from realizing that sometimes, the best way to get what you need is to sit and listen,” says Wolf. “Instead of always chasing what’s next, there’s power in slowing down, letting go and trusting that the universe will lend you just what you need.”
Co-written with McCall and recorded on a rustic cabin porch in Tennessee, this intimate track captures her roots-rocker spirit and his smooth vocals through grounded storytelling and calming guitar lines. Surrounded by the stillness and trees, their harmonies echo freedom, distilling an acoustic ode to letting go of your worries.
Wolf will close out her Porch Session Series with the final track, “Good Smoke Too (Porch Session),” arriving June 13 Before that, she heads to New Orleans for a run of shows, including at Chickie Wah Wah (5.22) and Hard Rock Cafe New Orleans (5.24), along with a live-from-Nashville Lightning 100 performance broadcasting June 8th, here.
