ABOUT THE SONG
KARAOKE MOONSHINE
KARAOKE MOONSHINE is a true story from a night of bar-hopping with friends through Hickman County, Tennessee. Written in real time by text, using things that were literally happening: karaoke, secondhand smoke, somebody passing a jar down the bar, horse shit on the sidewalk, animals mounted on the wall, money coming out of a bra, and a fight getting ready to start. And yes, there was a jar along for the ride. Nothing needed to be invented because the night was already writing the song. Interestingly Johnny Cash had a connection to Hickman County, but that was not why the song was written. One night. One county line. One jar. Written one bar at a time.
“We got karaoke. We got moonshine.”
