John Clay '34 Dollars' | Live At Chicago Music Exchange | CME Sessions

Guitarist John Clay stopped by the showroom recently with his good friend Colter Wall for a visit, and we were lucky to have him swing by our video studio for a #CMESession. What resulted was some serious Kentucky-fried singer-songwriter magic, and this Gibson SJN Country Western Natural 1956 certainly did the session justice!

So I found this during a government shutdown. It was like 0 degrees outside, and I had a crying 6 month old at home. Living in nowhere IN. Working for no pay, this song really resonated with me.... thanks bro.
