Nashville alt-country duo Glass Cabin is breaking creative chains with their bold reimagining of Fleetwood Mac’s classic hit, The Chain. Known for their heartland Americana sound, Jess Brown and David Flint have crafted a version that blends their signature country-rock style with the timeless energy of the original. The result is a fresh and powerful cover that showcases the duo’s creative edge and respect for rock history.
Their rendition of The Chain combines heavy drums, driving bass, and electric guitar with acoustic elements like banjo and mandolin. Brown’s raw, captivating vocals add grit, while Flint’s masterful guitar work brings a rich texture to the arrangement. The bluegrass-inspired banjo and mandolin lines provide a unique Nashville twist, adding depth and character to the classic track.
For David Flint, a lifelong fan of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, covering The Chain was a chance to honor the past while pushing their sound forward. When Brown suggested the cover, Flint was all in, and together they’ve created a version that breathes new life into a beloved song while maintaining its original emotional intensity. Their chemistry as musicians is evident, blending their Americana roots with the timeless essence of rock.
Set to feature on Glass Cabin’s upcoming third studio album, this cover continues to expand the duo’s creative range. Their 2021 debut album, praised as “hard-edged heartland Americana,” solidified their place in the genre, and this bold take on “The Chain” further proves their ability to break boundaries while staying true to their roots.
Glass Cabin’s innovative approach to the classic hit is sure to resonate with fans of both Fleetwood Mac as well as those who would genuinely appreciate some good acoustic rock music. Simply put, this is a must-check release!
