Nashville-based Americana singer-songwriter Mike Thomas just released his brand new single, "A Different Story," and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
When I wrote "A Different Story," I never expected to release it as a single. I thought it might work best as a late album cut or closer. When I write, I don't really think about singles. I typically write with the goal of creating a collection of songs with a common theme or thread that I can ultimately turn into an album. I grew up listening to complete albums, and I still prefer to consume music that way. My team often reminds me that I need to think more about singles and less about albums. After all, that is how most folks consume music in today's streaming world. This is also evidenced by the stacks of vinyl I still have in my storage closet from the last two albums I released! By the way, if anyone wants to buy one (or both) please visit mikethomasband.com! (continue)
