Singer-songwriter, poet, actor and multi-instrumentalist Willie Watson has released a new single titled ‘Slim and The Devil’

The song is a wits-sharp adaptation of the Sterling A. Brown poem, ‘Slim Greer in Hell.’ The story of a Faustian bargain made with St. Peter at the pearly gates in exchange for one more earthly adventure, it’s a sly contemplation of the meaningless deals we make to endure when we all know what’s inevitable.
 
The track follows Watson’s recent announcement of his first-ever solo album of original material – over 20 years into his career. The former founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show has been a part of numerous musical projects, soundtracks, and films and is now set to release Willie Watson on September 13th via Little Operation Records and More (Thirty Tigers). This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
