Amanda Cook has released a banjo-lead single titled “Last Road Going Home” (Mountain Fever Records).
“I’ve always believed that a great cover version of a song should pay respect to the original while, at the same time, adding something new and unique. The band and I made that our goal when recording Lou Reid and Carolina’s version of ‘Last Road Going Home.’ This song tells the story of life on the road and how it impacts loved ones, sometimes to the detriment of the relationship. I love that it has an open-ended nature which adds an element of mystery and leaves interpretation up to the listener. We hope our fans like our spin on such a great song,” Amanda Cook says.
The song was written by Harley Allen and features Amanda Cook on lead vocals; Carolyne Van Lierop on banjo and harmony vocals; Troy Boone on mandolin; Brady Wallen on guitar and harmony vocals; Joshua Faul on bass; and George Mason on fiddle. The track was engineered, mixed and mastered by Aaron Ramsey.
