Steep Canyon Rangers share “Honey On My Tongue,” the third track revealed from Arm In Arm out October 16.

Cradled by a warm acoustic guitar and resonant banjo and rounded off with gentle fiddle turns, “Honey on My Tongue” is a gorgeous tribute to the catch-22 of parenthood.

“Being a parent makes you vulnerable,” says Graham Sharp, who wrote the song for his daughter and has lead vocals. “It’s hard to understand that the only way your kids can make it in the world is without you.”   

Check out the sweet accompanying video for “Honey on My Tongue”:

The band is set to play three sold-out drive-in concerts in North Carolina – you can stream these performances live from the Rangers’ Facebook page or YouTube channel. From their cars, fans will watch Steep Canyon Rangers perform from a state-of-the-art mobile stage truck equipped with a 16-foot LED screen. Audio will be transmitted via radio frequency directly to cars. WNCW will live stream the show on August 28.  

Asheville-based brewer Wicked Weed Brewing will be donating $10 for each sale (CD or LP) of Arm in Arm (up to 2,000 copies) via Yep Roc to Haywood Street’s Downtown Welcome Table, an organization that provides a fine dining experience meant to counter the notion often held by those living on the streets that “handouts, hand-me downs, and leftovers are all I deserve.”

Previously released tracks from Arm In Arm include “In The Next Life,” and the video for “Every River,” which received praise from Rolling Stone Country and Asheville Citizen-Times.
