Story Behind The Song: Frankie Ballard - "Sunshine & Whiskey"

Yet another Roughstock Exclusive story behind the song, this time we have the story behind how "Sunshine And Whiskey" came to be written for rising star Frankie Ballard.

Roughstock recently caught up with Johnston, and we talked about the day he wrote Ballard's Top 30 hit with Luke Laird.

"We wrote over at his place," Johnston tells Roughstock. "After we hashed out the song that day, I kind of took the track home to work it up. It was kind of different from what we had first done. I just started rapping on it. I sent it to Luke, and I think his text said OMG, someone is going to cut that! We were so excited.

"Luke and I write together all the time," adds Johnston. "We always have a blast. We'll just find an 80s beat and just start rapping over it. It's hilarious."
