I brought Tanner Usrey out for a stripped-down session of his song “Make You Weep,” and it’s the kind of performance that hits you right in the chest. Tanner’s got that modern troubadour thing going on—always on the road, always putting miles on the car—and you can hear that lived-in honesty in the way he sings. The lyric paints a scene that feels too real: keys missing, smoke hanging in the room, clothes on the sofa, and two people standing in the wreckage trying to figure out what’s left. What I love about this one is how it doesn’t dodge the hard parts. He’s staring straight at jealousy, regret, and that brutal moment when you realize somebody can move on easier than you can. The hook keeps coming back like a question you don’t want answered—“Does it make you weep… does it shake you to your core?”—and the delivery makes it feel personal, not performative. If you’re here for real Appalachian-adjacent storytelling with Americana grit, this session is exactly that: raw, simple, and heavy in the best way.
