For Flatland Cavalry, it's about "Lubbock"
Written in 2016, the track paints a picture of the Texas town, where the group first came together.
Lead singer Cleto Cordero said, "This song I wrote after living in Lubbock for a season of my life. I really kind of adopted it as a new hometown. I'm just enamored by the music history there and the people and the kindness they have in their hearts and the love they have for the community. I've been sitting on it for a while because it never really made sense to put it on any of these other projects, but finally it has a place to live now. It's one of my favorite songs and moments we've ever captured on tape."
"Lubbock" is from the band's new album, "Flatland Forever," out Nov. 8 via Interscope Records and serves as a celebration of the band's past decade together.
In addition to songs from each of the band's albums — "Come May," "Humble Folks," "Homeland Insecurity," "Welcome To Countryland," "Songs To Keep You Warm" and "Wandering Star," the project also features four new songs (including "Three Car Garage"), alternate versions of previously released tracks and commentary from the band about each stage of their career.
In the past year, they received their first ACM Awards nomination (Group of the Year), wrote and recorded songs for two major film soundtracks ("Twisters" and "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes"), made their headline debut at venues such as Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre and earned their first RIAA certification ("A Life Where We Work Out," certified Gold).
