Michael Reynolds – “26 Horses”
Americana Highways brings you this premiere of Michael Reynolds’ song “26 Horses,” from his forthcoming album Tarnished Nickel Sky, slated for release on August 16th via Blue Elan Records. The album was produced and engineered by Ray Kennedy, recorded at Room and Board Studio in Nashville.
“26 Horses” is Michael Reynolds on vocals; Joshua Grange on electric and acoustic guitar; Fred Eltringham on drums; Steve Mackey on bass; Dan Dugmore on lap steel; Ray Kennedy on tambourine; Anthony Crawford on background vocals. With a beat that sets the pace like a loping horse’s gait, this song intrinsically channels optimism: “I’ll bring you 26 horses to ride, ten times the sky and twice as high, I’ll bring you 26 horses to ride.” Keep your thoughts tuned to the level of optimism in this song and life will be a breeze.
“26 Horses” began as a dream…literally. I heard the chorus in a dream and wrote it down as soon as I woke up. As it developed it became a song of longing and hope. Of eternal optimism in the face of adversity. Of letting go and leaving the past where it lay while forging ahead, without fear, into an unknown future where “…the day is dawning and the heavens are open wide.” – Michael Reynolds
