Athens, GA’s The Pink Stones are back with a new album, You Know Who, which will be out June 30 via Normaltown / New West. The album was co-produced by frontman Hunter Pinkston and Henry Barbe, and features guest appearances from Nikki Lane, Teddy and the Rough Riders, John James Tourville of The Deslondes, and Annie Leeth. “This record was me trying to take everything I love as a listener and a player and shove it all into one thing without it sounding random,” says Pinkston.
We’re premiering “Baby, I’m Still Right Here (With You),” which is a duet with Nikki Lane in the tradition of George & Tammy, Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton, and Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn. “‘Baby, I’m Still Right Here (With You)’ was me trying to show the influence George and Tammy have had on me,” says Pinkston. “I figured my friend Nikki would be the perfect Honky Tonk Queen to sing it with me. John Neff plays an excellent Dobro vs. Pedal Steel solo and the phasers are full blast. Naturally, I had to go back to East Nashville and shoot another video with the master, Josh Shoemaker.” You can watch that video below.
