About Arlo:
Gifted singer-songwriter Arlo McKinley released his debut solo record at age 40 on John Prine’s Oh Boy records - after he almost gave up on music altogether. McKinley’s album, Die Midwestern, is deeply rooted in street soul, country, punk, and gospel and draws on personal stories, set against the backdrop of his hometown of Cincinnati Ohio. McKinley recorded ten remarkable songs - some dating back fifteen years - all penned with a weight, honesty and gritty-hope that comes from living in the rustbelt city where his songs were born. He pursued a solo career from 2014, with his own band The Lonesome Sound and achieved some success including a nomination for Album of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Best Americana Act from the Cincinnati Music Awards, but his career stalled and he almost gave up altogether, “I don’t know why the world works the way it does but I’m beyond grateful to be in this situation.” McKinley stated, adding, “ I’m a little wiser in my ways and a 20 something me would’ve found a way to destroy the one dream that has stuck with me my entire life. Being a working musician.” Arlo McKinley is the last artist John and his son Jody signed together to their label Oh Boy records.

Lyrics:
Suicidal Saturday night
For everyone
The things we did we knew weren’t right
Just for fun
Had us flying through Kentucky and fleeing fast from Tennessee
Yeah we made a lot of money
Made a lot more enemies
No one said that this was gonna be easy
We’ve been dying since the day we were way born
I don’t know why I thought that it would be easy
Being criminals on the run
We should take some time and find our way back home
Never thought that we’d see the day but boy did it come
Before they even knew we were missing brother we were long gone
We were flying through Kentucky and fleeing fast from Tennessee
Yeah we made a lot of money
Made a lot more enemies
No one said that this was gonna be easy
We’ve been dying since the day we were born
I don’t know I thought that it would be easy
Being criminals on the run
We should take some time and find our way back home
No one said that this was gonna be easy
We’ve been dying since the day we were way born
I don’t know why I thought that it would be easy
Being criminals on the run
I’m glad we made some time and found our way back home

Took a while to get into Arlo but once I did, I was hooked like a junkie before the needle left the vein!! Lol lay me out Arlo!!!

[@mthomas2558]

Lord I remember those nights in Virginia when I never thought I’d see the day 👌

[@codywyattbeasley520]

Stlll living those kinds of nights in Virginia, just hoping I don't see morning light, but I always do. Does it really get better?

[@phidipidies]

These live, slowed down versions are amazing. His recordings are amazing, but his live sound is just so raw. This dude is pure talent.

[@OurVinyl]

Thanks, Corey. We like to think of these live versions as a complement to the album versions, not competition. We hope you can discover something new and interesting about the song itself that leads you to enjoy both versions in new ways. Thanks for watching and for the comment, man!

[@elimabry8690]

Arlo is one of the best extremely under rated this man is music

[@OurVinyl]

We couldn't agree more!

I need a live show in Texas🔥

[@Phoenix-rising]

I am so grateful for You Tube. If I had only had TV and Radio I would still believe great music died in the 90s. Here I found: Arlo, Whiskey Myers, Tyler Childers, The Struts, Greta van Fleet, Blackberry Smoke, Brooks&Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Cody Jinks, Dirty Honey, Clutch, Jason Isbell. So wonderful.

[@OurVinyl]

Love that! We're glad to be a little piece of your music discovery! Hope you'll stay tuned for more great artists that are to come...

You guy's have a great thing going. Awesome not have everything an everyone sound the same pop country. From a true metal head that can appreciate a good song as well as a story teller Arlo my dude my hats off to you sir.

[@prettyboy54321]

Arlo is at his best stripped down like this. Much better than the over production on his album. With a voice as good as his, you just don't need to overcomplicate things.

[@chizzad5155]

Agreed

[@ronneypiester1633]

100 % accurate

[@anibaldamiao]

Agreed although I can understand why an artist may want to make a more complex album

[@williamharper9356]

Seen him live it’s this good

[@prettyboy54321]

@@williamharper9356 I have seen him live. Both times he was so drunk that he could barely stand up. He was still good because his voice is that exceptional but I'd rather wait to see him again after he goes through rehab.
