With the new album announcement, Lively also shared a new single, the second from the forthcoming album, Love Ain’t Done A Damn Thing.”
“I wrote this one with my friend and fellow Texan Ben Danaher in Nashville,” says Lively. “The few times I’ve played ‘Love Ain’t Done A Damn Thing’ live, I’ve been amazed at how much it grabs people. I love the simplicity of the production, the homage to a stripped folk sound that has always heavily influenced me, and the swaying back and forth melody of the song itself.”

Its melody stays simple an acoustic guitar, a steel guitar, a basic drum beat and, here and there, harmonica and organ though serves the song well, as the singer-songwriter attests.
