"Sitting around reminiscing and telling stories about what it was like growing up is what inspired 'Redneck Roots' and gave us this idea for a wild backyard wrestling video. It's the type of song that brings a bit of fun and energy to the new album," said Clay Sharpe. "We just had a lot of fun talking about the good ol' days and how it made us who we are today."
"It pretty much self describes us and who we are in a fun kinda way. We are just some simple ordinary country boys from Georgia," King adds. "Throughout life, we all learn lessons. In our neck of the woods, the lessons may be a bit unconventional and sometimes they end up someone doing something crazy like in our new video."
