Ahead of the album’s release, the band has shared a new song, “All Of These Years.” The track uses the band’s classic Southern rock influences, like crunchy power chords and a stomping beat, to craft an anthem for down-on-their-luck folks trying to make it another day.

“This song to me personally is somewhat of a blue collar battle cry of a guy overcoming life struggles and personal demons,” Cope says. “Blood meaning passion, sweat meaning work, and blues meaning dealing with difficult times.”
