Jack Ingram Is “Seeing Stars”
Jack Ingram is releasing “Seeing Stars” to radio this week. The song, which is from his recent release Big Dreams & High Hopes, features Americana heroine and long-time friend Patty Griffin.
“The relationship with God or with Jesus or with anybody that you follow religiously — it seems like we’re all guilty of only keeping that relationship up when we’re really in need,” Ingram recently explained to CMT. “This song is admitting guilt to that. Like, ‘I know I don’t talk to You enough,’ or ‘I know I don’t reach out enough when times are good. And now that times are bad, here I am again but I need some help.’ You just go ahead and ask for it anyway.”
Written by Ingram and Grammy winner Chris Thomkins, the contemplative track was labeled “enchanting” by Billboard and “gorgeous” by Newsday, while the Arizona Daily Star called it an “ingenious pairing of his gritty, raw vocals with those of the angelic-voiced Patty Griffin.”
