Grey, speaking of the upcoming tour, is excited to get started, saying, “Took long enough but it’s coming! Finally going to get our behinds out there to Texas, Arizona, Nevada and the West Coast to do that Olustee thang! Can’t wait!”

The debut single from The Whiskeymen establishes the band as a musical Ghidorah of sorts with one head in the blues, one head in roots and country, and the third in rock and roll.

The song is a stunning take on Griffin’s 2002 release. 

To complement the release, the I Hear Thunder 2024 Tour winds across the country, an unforgettable experience reigniting the soul of roots music, while proving artists like Benoit only get better with time.
