Single of the Week: “You Was Born To Die” by Adia Victoria (featuring Kyshona, Margo Price, & Jason Isbell)

You know your gonna get a real burner of a track when the video opens up with T-Bone Burnett riding in a vintage car.

“You Was Born To Die” can be enjoyed in all the usual places, and don’t forget to grab A Southern Gothic
