LISTEN: Sally & George, “Keepin’ Time”

Artist: Sally & George
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Song: “Keepin’ Time”
Album: Take You on a Ride
Release Date: October 30, 2020

In Their Words: “Hailed as the Prince of Folk Alliance International, songwriter Robby Hecht helped bring ‘Keepin’ Time’ to life in a three-way Nashville co-write. Recorded live in Laramie, Wyoming, Shelby’s upright bass holds down the beat while Joel meanders around the fingerboard of his guitar. Lyrically, ‘Keepin’ Time’ harkens back to the early days of our relationship, when Joel toured full time with Sol Driven Train and Shelby kept a busy schedule globetrotting with Della Mae. Ironically, with our 2020 tours now cancelled and the world in varying stages of COVID lockdown, we have been together constantly since March. Like many couples experiencing a plunge into full time companionship, the challenge now lies in keepin’ time and space for self care.” — Shelby Means and Joel Timmons, Sally & George
