“‘Cannonball’ surprised me with its crowd appeal. Being that it is a true story about my personal family, I never thought people would relate in the way that they do,” said Bartley. “Always kind of thought it would be a song that I played for my friends around the campfire… maybe an album cut that my kids could listen to. I’m incredibly proud of what it’s turned into”
