“Pharoah” is the second single and video presented by the Freaks of Nashville collective following Carey Ott’s “World Gone Crazy.” The song is influenced by the great saxophonist Pharoah Sanders but also refers to wanting to escape tyranny in life or in a bad relationship.
Nashville-based band Saycouth took a 24-hour trip to Sheffield, Alabama in February 2024, where they walked the sleepy streets and found inspiration. The group recorded the single “Pharoah” on a full moon night with producers Richard Bennett (Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, The Mavericks) and Sol Philcox-Littlefield (Farewell Fighter, The Sharps, Boo Ray) at OutGo South Studio.
