Chicago-based songwriter Orillia shares a new countrified version of his song “Weather” as the last single to his album Fire-Weed. Featuring guest artists, including his backing band Local Memory, Lydia Cash (relative of Johnny Cash) on fiddle, Dylan Sage on banjo, and more. The new single features an arrangement and take that is so different than the original version from his previous band, The Roof Dogs, that it may as well be a new song entirely.

“I always make sure to stay busy writing. At one point, I was writing for DrugLords of The Avenues, Swingin’ Utters, and our side project, Filthy Thieving Bastards at the same time. I didn’t feel overwhelmed because it allowed me to continue exploring different styles,” said Bonnel.
