NASHVILLE, TENN. (November 5, 2021) — David Lee Murphy, Ben Burgess & ERNEST team up for the ninth release from HIXTAPE: Vol. 2 today (11/5), offering up an easy rolling middle-of-nowhere jam titled “Red Dirt Clouds.”
Written by Burgess with Jordan Schmidt, Canaan Smith and Ernest Keith Smith, the must-hear anthem stands as a tribute to simple ways and simple thrills, all taking place in tucked-away corner of heaven on earth.
Produced by Joey Moi with co-production from Derek Wells, the collaborators harmonize over an acoustic melody sharing their love for a world that may look boring from the outside but means everything to some.
