Daniel Young - Leave It Out To Dry
Leave It Out To Dry by Daniel Young strikes at the heart with its message and melody.

The country western style adds an edgy authenticity to the music, the twangy guitars, buoyant drums, reverb-soaked backdrop, and Daniel’s unpretentious vocals, all contribute to this feeling of originality and realness. If you’re in the mood for some open-ended introspection on the state of human condition then this track is a perfect match for you. Listen to Leave It Out To Dry by Daniel Young here!
