THE NEW SINGLE - OUT MARCH 14TH!
East Side Hang is the third single from Tom Braxton's upcoming Innervision release, Flashback. The entire album is a retrospective of Braxton's formative years in west Texas. The single was inspired by Tom's life on the 'East Side' of his hometown of Lubbock. His close knit community was filled with intense and fun kickball, football, baseball games, and picnics. Everyone knew everyone on his street, and the families shared each others joys, sorrows, and achievements.
East Side Hang embodies the spirit of that special time in his life. To bring the track to 'life' Braxton employed the dynamic Bass Burner, Al Turner, who he toured with in Earl Klugh's band. Mark Harper spiced up the track with his usual driving guitar, and Eric Willis added his keyboard flavor to Tom's keys and flowing sax lines. The infectious hook and Gorden Campbell's groove on the drums team up to create the perfect image of a neighborhood block party!
