Is Jason Morton & the Chesapeake Sons' The Things I've Done a Hit

Jason Morton's soulful, country-rock mix reflects his influences. "The Things I've Done" is a meaty, guitar-driven outlaw mix that no doubt is best heard live.

The Chesapeake Sons include a few female backup singers who offer bluesy refrains during and after his chorus. The most recent example of this in country music is found on a Thousand Horses' debut album, and indeed both credit the Black Crowes as one of many who shaped their sound.

"The Things I've Done" tells a dark story of a man who's committed an unspeakable crime, or maybe just broken up with a lover. Morton's song is open to interpretation, although the singer and the song's writers surely were making a focused point. Country fans will either appreciate the song's vibe or not. The Chesapeake Sons will no doubt carry on regardless.
