Wondering Why - The Red Clay Strays - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Raised in south Alabama "where concrete meets old red dirt," according to the lyrics of "Wondering Why," Brandon Coleman (lead vocals/guitar), Drew Nix (vocals/electric guitar/harmonica), Zach Rishel (electric guitar), Andrew Bishop (bass), and John Hall (drums) assembled The Red Clay Strays in 2020 and made their full length-debut two years later. Standout track "Wondering Why," released prior to their 2022 LP offering Moment of Truth, helped propel the band's profile to stratospheric heights, largely thanks to its popularity on TikTok. Written by the band's frontman Brandon Coleman and guitarist Drew Nix with long-time Kip Moore collaborator Dan Couch, "Wondering Why" introduced The Red Clay Strays' edifying mix of gospel, country, soul, and southern rock and gave them their first taste of chart fame. The song broke onto several charts, soaring to number seven on the Hot Rock Songs and number 10 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs while significantly debuting at 93 on the Hot 100.
