SONG PREMIERE: Surrender Hill "Get Along"

Sedona, AZ-based Americana duo Surrender Hill (husband and wife team Robin Dean Salmon and Afton Seekins) is set to release their third album, Tore Down Fences, on February 2. The album, which Salmon calls "raw, rootsy, rockin' Americana country with a lot of soul sorta thing!!!", is filled with guitars, harmonized vocals, organ, and bursts of pedal steel, pushing Surrender Hill into grittier territory while remaining grounded in solid storytelling.

The project’s thirteen tracks are delivered from the perspective of two partners who have weathered their own share of breakups and missteps, unpacking the skeletons in their closets, leaning on one another through life’s challenges and exploring the reality of romance - - together.
​
Today, TDC is incredibly pleased to premiere one of the album's standout tracks, "Get Along." A guitar-led, pulsating, and timely track, "Get Along”, was written, says Salmon, "when the riots in Charlottesville, VA were going on. All of that mess was very fresh in our minds. We were spending a couple of off days at a mountain cabin that some friends had offered us, and one morning while drinking coffee, I mentioned to Afton that we didn't have a lot of uptempo tunes for the album. So, I grabbed my guitar and sat down and started playing and spilling out words and the song "Get Along" came screaming out."
 
"What makes us all behave this way
Why can't we just embrace the day
Be the change and sing a different song
All we got to do is Get Along
 
Look into our children's eyes
See the wonder in our lives
Know that love will keep our spirit strong
All we got to do is Get Along"

Enjoy, and share, "Get Along" above; then read on as Surrender Hill give you insight into the song and the recording process.

How was the recording process for this one?
This tune was fun to record. It was towards the end of our first day and I was talking with band about the feel, and I mentioned Midnight Oil and the drive of their tunes and how much I love their bass player. This resonated with everyone, so we played around with the groove for about 10 minutes and it felt great, so I said let's roll it. We slammed through it and never did another take. The freshness and energy was just the way we wanted it to be. 

Have you played this song live much and if so, how has the response been?
Since recording the album, we have been playing it at every show.  It has become a favorite to play and for folks at the gigs. We get a lot of requests for it.  ​

Tore Down Fences paints the picture not only of a band that's reached its creative peak, but a relationship that's built on trust, twang, and creative chemistry. For all the information visit:
