The Cadillac Three have released a lyric video for their track This Town Is A Ghost.
The track sees frontman Jaren Johnston singing about the passing of his father Jerry Ray Johnston (drummer for Grand Ole Opry and Bandana) in 2022. “I put off writing about my dad’s passing for about as long as I could. One day, I was writing with my good friend, Ross Copperman, and I had the title, but I wasn’t sure it would be about Dad,” explains Johnston.
“I mentioned the idea of going there with it and Ross loved it. He helped me sculpt a story I knew I could sing with the band. I went more personal than usual. It was three of the hardest hours of my life. Telling that story of pain to a sweet melody was brutal. Let’s just say I cried a lot that day. Thank you, Ross, for going there with me. I hope the song is a little therapy for anyone that has gone through what I did.”
