Single Out: JD & The Straight Shot “The Great Divide”

 
 
From: Nashville / NYC
 
Latest Record: The Great Divide – released on March 15th
 
Song: “The Great Divide” 
 
What about it:  The title track of The Great Divide asks the question “How can everyone be so sure, when no one’s got the cure.” I like it because the lyrics do not take sides but instead focus on the schism in our country. It does seem that there is more anger and hate than there has been in recent times, and I hope this song will inspire folks to try a little harder to be tolerant of a different opinion than their own.” –from frontman Jim Dolan
