“Recording ‘Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line’ was such a blast. I’ve always loved Waylon Jennings, and getting the chance to put my own spin on this classic song with such an incredible group of players was something special. We tracked it down at Scott Vestal’s Digital Underground in Nashville, and the energy achieved by each player was fantastic. Having Eddie Sanders producing really brought everything together — his vision and support made this version come alive in a way I couldn’t be prouder of.” — Joe Hott
