Now, what a hell of a year it's been
Keep on bluffin', but I just can't win
Drown my sorrows, but they learned to swim
Now, what a hell of a year it's been
Head in bottle, but my heart in a cage
Yeah, It's gettin' harder to act my age
Play a sad song on a tiny violin
For the man at the bar confessin' his sins
I need some good news
Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth
Nobody knows what I'm goin' through
But the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes
Wish someone told me
"Livin' this life would be lonely"
Tryna get away from the old me
Still stuck singin' these blues
All I really need is a little good news
Love keeps knockin', but I just ain't home
Ain't pickin' no flowers from the seeds that I've sown
They say, "It gets darker when you're coverin' them doors"
Still lookin' for the right at the end of my wrongs
At the end of my wrongs
I need some good news
Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth
Nobody knows what I'm goin' through
But the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes
Wish someone told me
"Livin' this life would be lonely"
Tryna get away from the old me
Still stuck singin' these blues
All I really need is a little good news
Is a little good news
Ooh-oh
Ooh
I need some good news
Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth
Nobody knows what I'm goin' through
But the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes
Wish someone told me
"Livin' this life would be lonely"
Tryna get away from the old me
Still stuck singin' these blues
All I really need is a little good news
All I really need is a little
Somethin' bring me back to the middle
All I really need is a little good news

Is this HIC (hipster/indie/country) music? Solid 3.
Not a Country Music fan, generally. Classic country (Emmylou, Patsy, Johnny Cash) is art. "Modern" Country is musically inert dreck. 

This sits right on the cusp. Narrowly, but definitely on good side. The arrangement of its very basic ingredient is what sells it.

Plus, I respect a Black man in the CM world. 
Appreciate the "Country" warning William - thank you. It is a very rare time I'm open to this genre, now is not one of those times.
Really enjoying this one. His album is actually quite good and hope to hear more from him in the future. Thank you Bill for including some of the newer music out there!
This is very good. Well done Bill.
