This Red Rover is definitely not child's play. Written by Audie Blaylock and Redline bassist and vocalist, Reed Jones, and inspired by a story his papaw told him of the "good ol' days" in eastern Kentucky, this latest Redline contribution demonstrates how some folks just can't leave the childish games behind. What starts as innocent fun as kids carries through to adulthood, when sometimes relationships can feel like childhood deja vu.

“Red Rover feels classic and new all at the same time with its hard-charging pulse and free-flowing harmonies. The song is upbeat and bright, but the lyrics bring in just the right twinge of heartbreak and lonesome; it feels old, but the melody and progression smell fresh, like the whole thing was vacuum sealed 70 years ago and mailed to the present. Red Rover demonstrates that just because it's new, that doesn't mean it can't be traditional; and just because it's traditional, doesn't mean it's not relevant. It also shows that nobody can do that like Audie Blaylock and Redline.” – Reed Jones
