APRIL 2025: “SMOKE”

MIX CONTEST 1

 

Hey gang, I present to you the latest country tune from Passmore & Johnston – “Smoke”.  This ominous country rock song was inspired by Jason Aldean’s  newer brand of brooding dark country music.  From a production standpoint, Andrew and I feel we’ve done our best work to date with this song and are stoked to share it with you guys.   On steel is the one and only Bryan Daste, aka “MaulPcCarney” who’s been a TM member for a while.  This guy is next level on pedal steel and his performance in this song was beyond what I could have hoped for.  Thanks Bryan!  Have fun folks!
