Inspired by his admiration for Delta blues singer Tommy McClennan, Nat Myers' "Ramble No More" traces the story of a person who is restlessly in love — but this love isn't always smooth sailing. As their relationship begins to go awry, he must look outside the usual boundaries of his expression of appreciation and change his ways to salvage what's left.
"I've been runnin', I've been ramblin'/ And I'm standin' at your door/ If you let me in now/ I won't ramble no more," Myers croons in the chorus.
In this episode of Press Play, Myers offers an evocative performance of "Ramble No More," using just his signature acoustic guitar and haunting vocals.
"Ramble No More" is a track from Myers' new album, Yellow Peril, co-written by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, who also is his producer, and Pat McLaughlin, one of Myers' songwriting heroes. He titled the project Yellow Peril in response to the Asian prejudice that transpired at the start of the pandemic.
Beginning this October, Myers will support folk singer/songwriter Willie Watson on his Australian tour.
