Jack Horton’s latest single, “String Around My Finger,” is a warm, upbeat country-pop tune that captures the joy of love and the power of staying true to one’s roots. As the second track on his EP Imperfections, the song tells the story of a songwriter torn between pursuing his dreams in Nashville and the undeniable pull of a hometown romance. Horton’s lyrics are vivid and relatable, with standout lines like “I’m playin’ covers at ol’ Joe’s every Wednesday night / Elton John, Johnny Cash and a little John Prine.” These lyrics not only highlight his admiration for legendary songwriters but also ground the narrative in heartfelt authenticity.
