Long Haul - Drake Milligan & James Burton - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Drake Milligan pulls up to the honky-tonk saloon in this lighting-quick, rockabilly-flavoured riot from his 2022 album Dallas/Fort Worth, paying tribute to classic country with flourishes of whiskey-soaked fiddle and steel guitar. Housed on the second half of the LP, the song doubles up as a declaration of his willingness to travel for his love and his commitment to his country music craft. "I'd chug-a-lug-a-lug-a down to Chattanooga / Hitch a little ride just to makе it to ya", he sings in his Texan drawl. "I might even break the law / I'm in it for the long haul". Elsewhere on the album, Drake Milligan – who portrayed Elvis Presley in the CMT series Sun Records in 2017 – establishes his own voice across a collection of 14 songs in thrall to traditional country, country-rock, honky-tonk, and the artists who influenced him, including the aforementioned "King", as well as Merle Haggard and George Strait.
