Song Premiere: Charlie Greene, “Honorable Women”

Last summer, Charlie Greene shacked up in an East Nashville recording studio for several days and emerged with Wildfire Music, an album that split the difference between West Coast country and southeastern Americana. One year later, he’s singing a different tune with his newest single, “Honorable Women.” While pedal steel guitars swoon in the background, Greene lets his honky-tonk flag fly, using his deep baritone voice to deliver a song about mature ladies and one-night stands.

“‘Honorable Women’ was inspired by a piece of accidental conversation at a friend’s birthday party,” he says. “While wondering how he manages to fly so high on the horse with fuzzy occupational status, someone let it slip that he makes a living servicing the needs of mature ladies… I turned it over in my head for a coupla weeks and popped ‘Honorable Women’ out while trying to write something else of substance. It’s a hooray to sexy older ladies and the young bucks who love them.”
