The Hold Steady: Sequestered in Memphis (Audio)

2:18 p.m. · May 20, 2008 · by Andrew Winistorfer

The first single from the Hold Steady’s new album, Stay Positive, “Sequestered in Memphis” is streaming over at the band's MySpace page right now.

The song continues what you’d pretty much expect from the band; a whole lot of sax, a shouting chorus, a big Boss-like guitar line, and lyrics that sound like they were written by a guy on a bar napkin in downtown Memphis. Stay Positive hits stores July 15.
