Mosley has just released his latest single, ‘Me and Mr. Howard’. The lively bluegrass tune tells the story of the notorious outlaw Jesse James and his wife, Zee, who settled in Mosley’s hometown of Waverly, Tennessee, under the alias Mr JD Howard. Written solely by Mosley, ‘Me and Mr. Howard’ is told from the perspective of a local store owner who befriended James, adding a personal touch to the historical tale. The track highlights Mosley’s storytelling abilities, blending history with his small-town upbringing, delivered with an upbeat and engaging bluegrass melody. You can listen to it below.
Mosley has enjoyed more than three decades of success as a songwriter and vocalist. He toured throughout the ‘90s as lead vocalist/bassist with the bluegrass group The New Tradition. In 2001 he joined the Osborne Brothers with whom he played until 2010, when he formed The Farm Hands. Mosley, who is also a well-known songwriter for other artists, began his solo career in 2020. “Long Days & Short Stories” is his fourth record.
