Milan McAlevey has returned with new single “Don’t Push A Man”. This is the first track he’s sharing from upcoming LP, Bucksport Motel, due out May 10th. The track is shared alongside a video that takes us along with McAlevey, as he sings along in his truck, intercut with clips of old films.
McAlevey shares:
‘Don’t Push A Man’ is one of those songs that came very easily. It’s an observation on the vagaries of life and the karmic wheel. If you live long enough you see great people rise and fall often enough that a quiet life away from the spotlight becomes an unexpected treasure. It’s also a reminder to always be kind, no matter your circumstances, you may be king for a day, but the other shoe will always drop, if I may combine multiple cliches.
A lot of the songs on Bucksport Motel are about “the effects of booze on the soul.”
McAlevey explains:
Alcohol is too damn strong. It can completely change the way you see the world in a matter of minutes. No wonder it has a near divine status in human culture inspiring entire genres of music from Palm-Wine to Honky Tonk.
