We’ve gotta talk about Murray Hammond’s latest single, “Take This Heart And Lock It Up.” Straight out of the gate, Hammond throws down an unapologetic slab of classic country grit.
Murray’s delivery nails the rugged spirit that defines the best of country music. His vocals ooze seasoned confidence, channeling dusty Americana and unfiltered cowboy bravado without losing an ounce of sincerity. Instrumentally, the twang is thick, guitars crying out beneath Hammond’s grounded voice.
