Some songs feel written. Others feel like they’ve always existed. Gus White’s “Country Song” is one of those tracks—honest, unvarnished, and effortlessly timeless.
Recorded live to 2-inch tape in his countryside studio, the song captures the warmth of real musicians playing together, imperfections and all. The gentle shuffle of drums, interwoven guitars, and White’s quietly powerful vocals, paired with a delicate harmony, create a sense of intimacy that lingers long after the last note fades.
“It’s peculiar the way songs outlast the things they are written about”, White reflects. “This one started as a plea to hold onto something, but over time, its meaning has shifted.”
With an ear for organic storytelling and a deep respect for the raw beauty of a live take, White crafts music that doesn’t demand attention—it simply exists, like an old song playing softly in the background of a life well-lived. “Country Song” is the first glimpse into his upcoming debut album, a collection that promises to be as honest, human, and quietly profound as the man behind it.
