"Tough Gets Goin’" is one of the tracks from the band’s latest release “Feature 45: Joel Forlines.” The other song from the digital 45 is the inspirational “Started Livin’". This irresistibly soulful stroll features some sweet sax work and groovin’ bass. The song was inspired by featured vocalist Joel Forlines' story. Upon being released from jail, he felt that he couldn't make any of his dreams happen, but he eventually adopted a more positive outlook. The song is about breaking free from a despairing mindset and being grateful for what you have–to celebrate it in fact.
Forlines–a singer-songwriter and musician–was the the featured vocalist on "Tough Gets Goin’" and "Started Livin’". He served up heaps of gritty soul on both tracks.
