This deluxe version of A Thousand Snakes showcases his evolution as a songwriter and performer. The track, inspired by the raw emotion and authenticity of delta blues, is enriched by Harding’s stylistic embellishments, giving the song a dark and melancholic feel. Harding’s use of slide guitar, resonators, and bare, unembellished instruments in this recording marks a significant departure from his usual hard rock blues style, offering fans a deeper, more intimate look into his artistic journey.

“The Deluxe Version of A Thousand Snakes was inspired by the old delta blues, with my own stylistic embellishments that draw from hard rock and grunge, which give the song a dark and melancholic feel. This recording came out the way I intended the song to sound originally,” said Harding. “I’ve been obsessed with the blues for many years, and this song was a more direct ode to the blues genre, possibly than I’ve done before. I didn’t hold back on anything in this rendition. In a way, recording my heavier, hard rock blues style has become a safe approach to my art, because I’ve become proficient in that. So using slide guitar, resonators, and instruments that are more ‘bare’ took more of me, artistically, and forced me to understand a different side of the music.”

With the release of the deluxe version of A Thousand Snakes, Ross Harding continues to solidify his place in the music industry as a formidable force in the blues rock genre. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
