Consider It Correspondence and Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank have released “Take This Town” as a digital single. “Take This Town” was originally released as part of the Hobo Nephews 2015 album American Shuffle.
“Take This Town” is a rambling tale of realization, romance and desperation written by Teague Alexy and accentuated by Hobo Nephews rollicking Americana energy.
“Said I ran a few tolls, couple red lights.
They got my picture on satellite.
Tonight will be fond farewell,
Fore I’m off along the hard luck trail”
The hilarious “Take This Town” video was directed by Truvio and features Hobo Nephews alongside Albert Einstein and Al Capone among others.
“From the first cigar of Al Capone,
To the last cigarette of Sherlock Holmes.
Cops and robbers, friends and lovers,
From one end of Babylon to the other.”
“Take This Town” is available wherever digital music is sold. American Shuffle vinyl available in our web store.
