Micheal Cusack might only be 20 years old, but he writes like a man with much more hard-won experience. “Shirley,” his first single, is about a hard-headed woman who’s making his life harder.

I dunno. Kinda on Shirley’s side on this one.
We don’t have all the facts, but we do have this great new country tune produced in a classic style by Mark Edgar Stuart. The producer also made this lyric video, which takes you on a drive through Cusack and Stuart’s native Arkansas countryside. Take a look:
