Jeremy Garrett Releases Video for ‘I Can’t Lay Your Lovin’ Down’

Jeremy Garrett

When Jeremy Garrett isn't on the road playing fiddle and singing with the GRAMMY award-winning band The Infamous Stringdusters, he's touring on his own, using the latest technology to develop sophisticated and textured yet deeply soulful performances of his original songs.  

His technique of layering and looping multiple instruments and vocals can be seen in the newly released music video for his latest single from Organic Records"I Can't Lay Your Lovin' Down."

The song, written by Garrett along with long-time collaborators Jon Weisberger and Mountain Heart's Josh Shilling at Garrett's Colorado mountain home, is a sombre portrait of a man who's "facing all my demons" but one.  From a sparse guitar opening, the music unfolds with increasing urgency as the entrance of mandolin and fiddle builds a restless tension that flares into haunting layers of fiddle exploration before subsiding in the closing seconds. It's an emotional and deeply musical tour de force that's all the more remarkable for a listener who knows that Garrett can do it all live. 

"I Can't Lay Your Lovin' Down" is the first release from Garrett's upcoming album,Circles, featuring more music that pushes the borders of progressive bluegrass music.
