Young hearts, old souls. The most liberal cowboy in the US of . met with the Dutch queen of Americana in his home state, the Great Damn State Of Arkansas, in the fall of last year. The two of them became friends while driving through the postcard views of the Ozark Mountains, philosophizing about life, drinking strong, mad dog margaritas. They soon discovered they shared a passion for old school country tunes and began writing songs quickly after.

“When Dylan and I met in the Arkansas Ozarks, we immediately had a vibe. He's a charming figure and cracked me up before we even had a drink. Sharply dressed, weird, quirky. My kind of guy. We became friends over frozen margaritas in a bar in the middle of nowhere.” Blank said. “The first time I heard him sing I had chills going down my spine: I've always had a thing for music from the sixties and seventies, and Dylan's voice is like a magic time travel portal to those forgotten times. We quickly found out that our love for old songs was mutual, and we wrote country ballad “Never Said A Word” in less than two hours. We were both born a few decades too late, haha. He's a little more dedicated than me though: there's no wifi at his place and he still watches movies on VHS. He's the bomb.”

Blank and Earl recorded this newborn classic 4461 miles away from where they wrote it: the Electrosaurus Studios in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Produced by none less than Pablo van de Poel (DeWolff) musically enhanced by Stefan Wolfs, Dutch master of the Sad Machine, and members of Chatham County Line (US) who happened to be spending their day off from touring with living legend Judy Collins in Utrecht on the day of the recording, this 7” single could possibly be the poster child for international collaboration in this genre and will soon be chart-topping. Or so we'd like to believe.
