"The Dark Side of Lonesome" is now available on all of your favorite streaming services. Edgar Loudermilk shares a bit of insight on his approach to writing the song. “This is a song I wrote one night while traveling back home from a West Coast Tour. I wanted to try and write a song similar to Blue Yodel, that Russell Moore sang often while we were touring with IIIrd Tyme Out. I always loved how he sang that old classic, and the feel of it! It’s sometimes hard to capture a groove like in a classic like that, but I felt good with this one, and the way it came together. I actually wrote this one while driving home from Susanville, California, from behind the wheel while the rest of the band was sleeping. It came together in my thoughts on those long roads, which is probably my favorite technique of writing a song, with no instrument involved. Hope you enjoy this one, another song of ‘Lonesome Love Loss’ with a mean feel like an Old Yodel." Produced by Edgar Loudermilk the new single features Edgar Loudermilk (lead vocal, bass), Zack Autry (mandolin, harmony vocal), Curtis Bumgarner (banjo) and Clint Coker (guitar) with special guest musician Michael Cleveland (fiddle).
