Acclaimed blues, roots-rock, and country revival trio GA-20 are thrilled to release “Dry Run” which premiered earlier this week via Bluegrass Situation. “Dry Run follows the release of “Easy on the Eyes” from the band’s third studio album Crackdown, due out September 9 via Karma Chief Records / Colemine Records. In their new collection of songs, GA-20 channel a throwback blues sound with a facelift fit for modern day ears — complete with gritty and melodic tunes that the jukeboxes of 2022 will most certainly be spinning.
“‘Dry Run’ is a “tear in my beer” country blues story of being strung along and ghosted by a girl that Pat was sweet on. When he eventually ran into her a while later and figured it all out.” Pat says he wrote the melody in his head on the drive home, feeling like a sucker. “This girl I thought was really into me was just practicing her flirting,” he tells audiences, and they always laugh and nod. We had all been listening to a lot of country tunes at the time and that Jimmy Reed and Lazy Lester influence slipped in.”
