Gonna be a long Monday
Sittin’ all alone on a mountain by a river that has no end
It’s gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock that’s come unwound again and again

Kicking things off with “Long Monday” are Ellie and Drew Holcomb with “Long Monday”.
And here are two special Prine performances: “Summer’s End” with Brandi Carlile and Sturgill Simpson and “Paradise” with Marty Stuart.
