An old country classic, featuring Matt! "Amarillo By Morning" is a brand new song for us, so we're pretty excited to share it with you all. We have a ton of new content coming soon, so be sure to subscribe and press the bell icon if you haven't already!
Our band is very guitar-driven and Matt is a huge backbone in keeping us together and allowing the rest of us to do what we need to with our instruments. When a lot of people might have wanted to learn fancy solos, he focused on mastering rhythm for years.
Matt plays a Collings D1ATS guitar. It was Bill Collings' last project before he passed away, he studied 30 pre-war Martins and took aspects of them he really liked. Matt's has an Adirondack spruce top, mahogany back and the wood is temper cured to age it in a fast way. It's a great guitar, super smooth and is light, which is important as he has to hold it a lot!!
He uses D'Addario XS Acoustic Phosphor Bronze 13-56 medium strings for a warm sound and in a couple videos, like California (youtu.be/vqOzG_A8tMs), he plays a lighter color Bourgeois Country Boy Deluxe. He also has an Eastman AC630 BD Jumbo at home, as well as dad's 10 guitars to play around with!

►LYRICS - Amarillo By Morning
Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone
Everything that I got is just what I got on
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be bucking at the county fair
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo I'll be there
They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe
Lost a wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way
I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate
Oh, I hope that judge ain't blind
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's on my mind
Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone
Everything that I got is just what I got on
I ain't got a dime but what I've got is mine
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's where I'll be [x2]
