Andy Black has unveiled another cut from his new solo album, The Ghost Of Ohio.
Ahead of the release of his new album (and accompanying comic book) The Ghost Of Ohio on April 12, Andy Black has unveiled a brand-new single and video, The Promise.
Back when we quizzed Andy on every track on the album, he told us specifically of The Promise: “There’s a misconception that all I ever wanted to do was to move to Hollywood. The truth is that I loved where I was from. When I was in high school, I got an opportunity to go to Los Angeles for a couple of weeks and I did discover, ‘Oh, this is where I need to be to do music.’ When you’re young, you’re impatient with your dreams; if you want to get out, you want to get out. This song is a love letter to where I’m from. It’s a working class area and very salt of the earth. Now I live in California with my wife and we like it here, but I think I’ll always identify as someone who’s from Southwestern Ohio, because I don’t think something like that really ever leaves you. It’s important for the story to establish this connection to the area and what keeps bringing this character – and more so, me – back.”
