Need a full version ASAP. Muscadine Bloodline is currently on tour celebrating the music of their latest LP, Longleaf Lo-Fi. The Longleavf Lo-Fi tour has a very intimate setting, with Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton sitting in the middle of a cabin-like space, giving the audience the feel of a writers’ round rather than a full-blown concert. It’s personal, and makes the lyrics of the tunes featured in the setlist pop that much more.
While songs featured on Longleaf Lo-Fi are the focal point of the show, Muscadine Bloodline is sprinkling in some other fan favorites into the setlist, including their duet with the West Texas rockers, Treaty Oak Revival.
To close out 2025, Treaty Oak Revival dropped their highly anticipated third studio record, West Texas Degenerate, which made waves at the end of the year, securing the number three spot on Whiskey Riff’s 40 Best Country Albums of 2025 list.
The record featured Muscadine Bloodline, William Clark Green, and more, and contains 14 tracks, including the previously released singles “Bad State of Mind” and “Happy Face.” “Happy Face” has already earned over 73 million streams on Spotify alone, and “Bad State of Mind” has 57 million streams on the same platform. Fans were thrilled to see the cult favorites on the tracklist, which Canty deliberately curated. The two songs represent the split of the record, from a heavy A-side to a more lighthearted, growth-focused B-side.
The entire project was a smash hit for Treaty Oak Revival, earning them their highest charting debut. And while fans love the entire tracklist, some songs strike a deeper chord with fans than others. One of those is their collaboration with Muscadine Bloodline, “Misery.”
In a rapid-fire question and answer video surrounding the record, frontman Sam Canty shared that: “‘Misery’ is about wishing you could get out of a relationship to the point where you would just die.”
If you take a look at the lyrics of the twangy rock and roll tune, you can see that it perfectly highlights how Canty described the song:
“Put me out of my miseryWell, wish you would’ve done it right from the startGun me down like the enemyLike the cold-blooded killer that I know you areAnd I wish you’d make it quick and painlessDon’t let it get too farSo baby just, put me out of my miseryPut the last damn bullet in my broken heart”
While on the road, Muscadine Bloodline has been highlighting this tune in a new light. Swapping the heavy guitar chugs of the electric guitar for strumming acoustics, Muscadine Bloodline has reimagined the fan-favorite tune if they had recorded it.
“Let’s just pretend, what if Muscadine Bloodline put this song out. What would it sound like? And it might sound something like this.”
The stripped-back melody of their take on the tune, combined with the intimate stage setting, makes this sound like an unreleased gem from the Alabama duo. It’s a completely different song in the best way possible.
Hearing both the original recording of this tune and this version highlights that the lyrics pack a punch no matter the melody that they are paired with, and it is country music perfection in both forms. I would not be opposed to Muscadine Bloodline and Treaty Oak hitting the studio again to give fans a stripped-back version of the tune, similar to this take. It would be killer.
