Americana artist, David Starr, releases his cover of “Drive” by The Cars, marking the 7th single from his ongoing Touchstones album project. The poignant 80’s ballad gets a fresh arrangement with acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and mandolin. The result is a beautifully organic track centered around Starr’s signature emotive vocal.

The Cars “Drive” was at the top of his list of songs to include on Touchstones. “I have wanted to cover this song for years - the dreamy synths and simple but emotional lyrics have always been a standout from the decade,” notes David Starr. “I had my own personal experience with ‘Drive’ since I first heard it in Aspen, CO. At the time I was running with a crowd that maybe partied a little too hard; I knew my fair share of folks that needed to be driven home on a given night, and some nights, myself included. I am really proud of the way this one came out and the new acoustic direction it took.”
