Hicks Hayride Single Review

Hayride is the latest single from Stockholm’s Hicks, who hits it out of the park with a down and dirty track that is as much Toby Keith as it is Poison. The track blends dirty, dusty nights with big city gloss and polish to provide listeners with a track that will stick with them long after the track has ceased.  The harmonies created by the instrumentation on Hayride are further…
