“Cannonball is a song I wrote a while back with Chris Stapleton. I was trying to figure out a new way to talk about the "love and war/love as war/love is war” theme and of course, Chris helped to bring that to life so well. I never made a demo, just the voice memo. Hearing Chris’s amazing singing on it could be a daunting thing for lots of artists to get past, but I knew Josh Martin could handle it, so I pitched it to the Heroes for this project. It took a while to sink in with them, but I’m beyond thrilled with the treatment they gave it!”
