Requested by -The Carolina Cowboy Jersey John in North Carolina
Commander Jersey John went with a Corey Taylor themed Double Play with
Say you’ll Haunt Me by Stone Sour. Corey Taylor has been the lead singer in that band since 2015.
The band has been on an indefinite hiatus since 2020.Fingers crossed they get back togethefr in the studio and make more
great tunes like Say You’ll Haunt Me.
The Second track was from Corey Taylors 2020 debut solo album CMFT.
“Highway 666” is a hard rockin, powerful, and intense song by Corey Taylor.
The title of the song is a reference to the infamous Route 66, a highway in the United States known for its long history and cultural significance. However, the addition of the number “666” adds a darker, more ominous tone to the song, hinting at the demons that haunt the protagonist on their journey.
Great Job! Jersey John !Salute!
