The Bluebillies unite with “Run Daddy Run (Mama’s Got a Gun),” a powerful, passionate single that delivers the sobering truth with full force. Pulled from Melody Guarino’s own childhood, this song is a life lived as art. It’s at the breaking point in a family story, when love becomes survival, and a mother who has been pushed to her limit finds that she can become protector as well as outlaw.
Engineered by Justin Metz of RockwellPro Studio, the release is a raw outpouring of emotions from The Bluebillies. Their rootsy coupling of country, bluegrass, and folk makes for the perfect backdrop to a story that is as chilling as it is human. Penned by Mark and Melody Guarino, “Run Daddy Run” balances heartbreak with positivity. The harmonies, full and grounded, lend warmth to the tension, making a sound that feels like the truth itself.
The Bluebillies wrap up the song in Americana authenticity, telling the story through a modern lens that recognizes real struggle and real resilience. “Run Daddy Run (Mama’s Got a Gun)” is about survival, motherhood, and the price of love. With unflinching storytelling and soul-deep delivery, this track solidifies The Bluebillies as one of Americana’s most forthright voices.
