On “Potholes,” his new single, Moss Henry creates a colorful portrait of life on the road, and threads an abundance of warmth and rootsy country melody throughout. And at its heart, this is a song about resilience, about love, about the relief of finally finding your way home.
“Potholes” feels every bit as weighted as the stuff fans of Zach Bryan and Tyler Childers have come to hunger after. The track unfurls like a slow drive at dusk, steady, soulful, with an undercurrent of hope. Henry’s voice rings with a lived-in legitimacy that lends the whimsy and longing of the song added weight.
What sets “Potholes” apart is that it manages to capture universal emotions within a specific story. Anyone who has traveled the road knows that blend of weariness and excitement, the potholes along the way, and the joy of finally arriving where your heart feels at home. Henry translates that sensation into a song that radiates deep personal feelings but also resonates broadly.
For the music lover hungry for new discovery, “Potholes” serves as evidence that songwriting inspired by country and folk is singing a road, one you’ll want to travel over and over again. Below, “Potholes” is streaming on Spotify, giving everyone a chance to hop in the car and ride along with Moss Henry as he takes life’s bumps in the road and turns them into a sweet anthem of love and homecoming.
