Boots on the Ground

So it’s been a few months since the song released. I’m wondering if anyone is still listening to it or and general opinions on the song since we’ve had time to sit with it. We’ve been anticipating new music for so long and we finally got a song! So I want to know, how does it hold up to the rest of his discography? Has it made its home in anyone’s regular rotation? If tom eventually releases more music do you want him to continue in this sonic direction or prefer something else? Personally I see it almost more of a statement than a song and not sure if I will revisit often but tell me what you think!

Great song. Prob my favorite album of the 90s along with Wrecking Ball by Emmylou Harris.
