Old Chunk of Coal - Single

Knathan's 2026 single release is a cover of the Billy Joe Shaver classic Old Chunk of coal.

Friends, releasing a single here right quickly. I have been wanting to release this cover of Billy Joe Shaver for a few years, and recently got the time and energy to put it together the way I wanted. I think we all have diamonds on the inside and sometimes we need to buff them out a bit to let shine. My daughter Flannery drew the cover, which I just loved. This is a more introspective take on Billy's great song, I love his playfulness, but I always heard the longing too...and the sarcasm as well. Hope you enjoy.Stream everywhere or download on bandcamp today!
