Released in May 2020, its music is built on Billy "The Kid" Emerson's 1954 Sun Records blues "If Lovin' Is Believing".
The words
A defiant speaker insists he is no fake and stares down enemies and mortality alike.
A defiant speaker insists that he is genuine, no fake, and warns off his enemies with a mix of boasting and grim humor. The verses pile up claims about his strength, his past and his readiness to face death, sounding at once like a gunfighter and an old preacher. The tone is swaggering and sardonic. Its music is built on Billy Emerson's 1954 Sun Records blues, played as a slow, snarling electric shuffle.
