This Wild Life have shared another new cover, this time taking on a modern crossover country classic courtesy of Johnny Franck.
‘Better Hell’ appears on Bilmuri’s 2024 album ‘AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS’, and the original is as crushing as it is catchy.
Though when it comes to Kevin Jordan and Anthony Del Grosso with their acoustic guitar and pedal steel guitar, the song feels more at its southern-fried core. Soft, tear-stained and beautifully delivered, it is heartache in its purest form. A reminder that below hog cranking and big riffs, Bilmuri is a band based on very human emotions, and there are few bands that know their way around them better than This Wild Life.
You can have a listen for yourself below. It’s really lovely.
It’s the band’s second cover of the year, following on from their take on Sabrina Carpenter’s smash hit ‘Manchild’. Here it is.
