Testimonial

Awesome! I was mostly experimenting with this one to see and hear the end result. Thank you so much for the added piano work. I sincerely appreciate that. I have close to 45 songs (20 years worth) that I’ve really not shared around. So glad to discover this site. —Big daddy Clint is super stoked. It is definitely a different sound than how I have played it in the past, but this is the beauty of music. Thank you all so much. Look forward to doing more in the near future. Kudos to the composer! Thanks again!

Story Behind the Song

Yankee Grey is the story of a safe place. The lyricist warns, “They say we all have a purpose in life/and I’m still trying to find my way/I’m telling you now if the going gets rough/I’m retreating back to Yankee Grey.” It’s “a place in the heart” to go and escape troubles, because “life is a battlefield” sometimes. Listen and find your retreat in a song called Yankee Grey.
