Black Country, New Road share alternate version of ‘Track X’
Listen to ‘Track X (The Guest)’ now.
Following the release of their debut album ‘For the first time’ back in February, Black Country, New Road are now sharing an alternate, acoustic version of ‘Track X’, titled ‘Track X (The Guest)’.
“This version is where the lyrics for ‘Track X’ originally came from,” Isaac Wood explains. “It’s an old story, with some simple guitar playing and has the extra lyrics in the chorus. It’s ‘The Guest’ version, written about 2 years ago in this format and we thought it would make for a good accomplice to the album.”
