Sibling Duo Tigirlily Gold on Polishing Up ‘Ring’ for Its Second Radio Single: ‘It Still Packs a Punch’


"I Tried a Ring On" was the highest-debuting single on the Country Airplay chart dated Feb. 10.

It’s also the foundation of Tigirlily Gold’s sophomore single, “I Tried a Ring On,” a gorgeously fragile account of a woman who recognizes the part she played in her own misperception of a relationship that didn’t pan out.

The demo set the tone for the master tracking session, held again at Stone Jag with a band that featured drummer Evan Hutchings, bassist Craig Young, keyboardist Alex Wright and guitarists Sol Philcox-Littlefield and Todd Lombardo, who developed a slightly syncopated acoustic riff to create a sense of motion.
