Wild Earp & The Free For Alls - "The Last Honky Tonk in Chicago"

2019 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Chicago based Bloodshot Records, which, as you can tell, we're huge fans of here at If It's Too Loud... The very first release for Bloodshot was For A Life of Sin: Insurgent Chicago Country, a compilation of Chicago based country artists. For their anniversary, the label will release Too Late to Pray: Defiant Chicago Roots. The first single off the compilation is from Wild Earp & The Free For Alls, "The Last Honky Tonk in Chicago." If you imagine what a song called "The Last Honky Tonk in Chicago" by a band called Wild Earp & The Free for Alls, and you most likely have it. It's an old school down home country song, but with just enough of the attitude to truly make it a Bloodshot Records release.

You can watch the video for "The Last Honky Tonk in Chicago" below. You can pre-order Too Late to Pray: Defiant Chicago Roots via Bloodshot Records. For more on Wild Earp & The Free for Alls, check out their website.
