Bill Hearne (with JJ Walker) - Driftin Way of Life
Back in 2015, Bill was working on an album project, and knew that he wanted to involve as many of his
long-time friends and collaborators as he could, and he reached out to Jerry Jeff and asked him if he’d sing on a song. Walker, with his usual trademark generosity, sang on two. One has been sitting “in the can” waiting to see the light of day. Driftin’ Way of Life will be included on Bill’s upcoming 2021 Howlin’ Dog Records album release “A Very Short Time”, but we wanted to send it out on its own, as Bill does just a killer version of the tune. Plus we know folks will be missing Jerry Jeff, and the vocal interplay on their duet is stellar. JJW takes a verse and scats
along with Bill afterward, and it just totally embodies that rambling spirit of the song.
