Mother Hips – “I Don’t Want To Drive You Away”

Today, Northern California musical icons the Mother Hips share their first-ever cover song from their upcoming new album Glowing Lantern, due out December 3rd on Blue Rose Music.

The song was written by David Wiffen (whose songs have also covered by Tom Rush, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Hiss Golden Messenger), and the band first heard it when they scooped up an Anne Murray cassette at a truck stop. The Hips add their signature killer harmonies and their dynamic groove, with epic guitar lines and sparkling Wurlitzer building a fresh but timeless version of the classic.

Glowing Lantern is out December 3rd. Pre-order it here.
