Carley Arrowood Drops New Song “Goin’ Home Comin’ On”

Carley Arrowood is on a journey. Already, it's taken her onto the stage of the Grand Ole Opry with an acclaimed touring act and into a new role as a singer, songwriter and fiddler recording for the Mountain Home label. Now, following the release of her self-penned ballad, "Dear Juliana" and a celtic-flavored gospel original, "Ballad of Calvary," she's taking a quick side trip for a little reunion and renewal in her third single, "Goin' Home Comin' On."
Penned by a trio of writers that includes Jenee Fleenor - the reigning Country Music Association Musician of the Year (and the first woman to win the award) - alongside veteran songwriter Charley Stefl ("The Fool," "All Aboard") and producer-bassist (and award-winning songwriter) Jon Weisberger, the song is a lively portrait of a young woman homeward bound for a weekend visit. As Carley explains, she connected immediately with its theme when she heard it.
"The feeling of a 'Goin' Home Comin' On' is one in a million," she notes. "You start that long drive, with your suitcase in the back seat (and maybe your fiddle too) and you start thinking about everybody you're gonna see and all the things you're gonna do. That's the story this song tells with its rootsy, cheerful, nostalgic vibe. The first time I heard it there were vivid memories that came to mind."
Arrowood is joined by a stellar band that includes bluegrass power couple Kristin Scott Benson (banjo) and Wayne Benson (mandolin), guitarist and harmony singer Daniel Thrailkill - and, fittingly, her sister Autumn. "When we were little girls," Carley recalls, "my sister Autumn and I would run to our dad when he got home from work - racing to see who would get the first hug. So when I heard the line about running to daddy, I immediately knew Autumn had to sing harmony with me on it!"
Yet while she's surrounded by a strong group of players, Arrowood's confident performance keeps her expressive, empathetic voice and commanding fiddle work at center stage from the song's explosive start through its energetic closing refrain. And though it's filled with the virtuosity and down-home sentiments of bluegrass, "Goin' Home Comin' On" has a distinct country flavor in its varied rhythms and unfolding arrangement.
In fact, when you get down to it, to say Arrowood is on a journey may actually be a bit of a misdirection - for judging by the mature, fully-realized quality of her music, Carley Arrowood has already arrived at a place that makes her one of the fastest rising and meaningful female roots music artists today.
