Doug Paisley: “Life To Go”

The artist takes on a song by George Jones, “Life To Go.” Doug Paisley covers it with all its resplendent country leisure intact. The slow tempo allows the full measure of heartbreak and longing to sink in. You see bad luck coming a mile off, and if you were blind, you could smell it. Is the title of the song a reference to a prison sentence? And is it a prison sentence imposed on us by others, or one of our making? Take it literally, ruminate on it figuratively, and apply it liberally in spots given to sunburns and skin rashes.
