Dirt Road Souls “Hold on Soul”

Dirt Road Souls sing about dirt roads, soul, and going home on their new single, ‘Hold on Soul’.  The Boston-based trio released this single in anticipation of their new twelve-song concept album, ‘(The Life and Times of) Johnny Moonshine’.

Singer Davis Black reflects on the lyrics, “’Hold on Soul’ was first written many years ago when I had left my small town and gone off to start a life in Boston. After high school and college years, I’d often return to my small town to recharge – and get drunk with my friends who didn’t leave town. These lyrics come from the culture shock between the two places. The stress of the city vs. the simplicity of the small town was very real for a little while.” 

The song was engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered by Dirt Road Souls’ own Brian Sargent at his Aberrant Sound in Wrentham, Massachusetts, and it features Black on guitars and vocals, Weden on drums, and Sargent on upright bass, mandolin and backup vocals.

‘Hold on Soul’ is available now on all platforms.
