A good collaboration is hard to find so, when you do find one, it’s best to stick with it. That’s a lesson that’s been well-learned by Abner and Amanda Ramirez, who are re-teaming with their pals Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors for a follow-up to 2018’s Goodbye Road. The new EP will be called Goodbye Road: Volume Two, and we’ve got a new single you can check out right now.
In a press release, Holcomb pulled the curtain back on the songwriting process a little.
We started writing these songs in early March of 2020, right before the world fell apart. Following up on the joy we had writing, recording, releasing the first ‘Goodbye Road’ EP, we knew we wanted to make more music. We started ‘Isn’t Everything A Love Song’ and ‘Sing It Out Loud’ with plans to make an album in the spring of 2020. With Abner and Amanda on the West Coast out in LA, and me living in Nashville, we had to keep postponing the dream. Still itching to make more music together, I flew out to Los Angeles in late summer 2021 and we finished the songs at their studio. We were all able to finalize the songs together, remotely, while in the midst of touring in 2022. They were some of the people I missed most over the pandemic and finally getting back together was really sweet.
The full EP will be out on October 28.
