With the support of 615 Hideaway Records, the band went back into the studio and recorded a cover of The Band’s “Ophelia” (written by Robbie Robertson). The same group who had recorded for the EP was on the “Ophelia” cut, plus Shelby Gold on fiddle. Billy said, “I was a fan of The Band and Levon Helm and it was an up-beat, fun song.” The song, recorded in February 2020, ended up reaching number one on XM radio for one month.
The plan was to go back in the studio and record enough songs to add to the four songs recorded for the EP, plus the single “Ophelia,” and produce a full album. Then COVID hit. Billy said, “We were going to do a few more singles and then put out a full album. My Dad was fired up to do more, but COVID shut us down and his health started going in and out. We had songs ready to go, but we never got the chance to record them.” Bill Emerson passed away on August 21st, 2021.
