The high-powered new single from A Thousand Horses, “Highway Sound” marks the start of the most dynamic era yet in the Nashville-based band’s career.Produced by GRAMMY Award-winnerJon Randall,the wildly life-affirming anthem delves deeper into the free wheeling originality they’ve embraced since their Dave Cobb-produced debut SOUTHERNALITY—featuring the PLATINUM-certified smash“Smoke”—and artfully merges elements of Southern Rock, Classic Country, and hard-driving Americana.Along with adorning the track with plenty of ear-catching details (achieved in part through such left-of-center instrumentation as electric sitar and talkbox), A Thousand Horsesfully capture what frontman Michael Hobby refers to as “the freedom of cuttingties with the negativity of the past, and putting your energy into celebrating a new beginning.”Written after a period of intense change in their personal lives, “Highway Sound” first took shapeover the course of a weekend trip to a Texas farmhouse insummer 2021, during which Hobby,guitarist Bill Satcher, bassist Graham DeLoach, and former guitarist Zach Brown came up with the song during an impromptu session on the porch. A major leap forward for A Thousand Horses,“Highway Sound” spotlights the powerful musicianship and soulful urgencyf irst revealed on SOUTHERNALITY—a 2015 LP that reached #3 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, with “Smoke” earning recognition asthe first debut single for a group to reach #1 on the CountryAirplay chartsthat decade.Soon after launching their own label, Highway Sound Records, AThousand Horses returned with their 2022 sophomore album BROKEN HEARTLAND, featuring standouts like “When I Hear Your Name,” “Another Mile,”and“Never Liked the Rain.” Knownfor their incendiary live show, A Thousand Horses have also toured the country withiconic acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd,Darius Rucker,Jason Aldean, Kid Rockand more.
