SPOTLIGHT: Caleb Clauder and Reeb Willms ‘Chained By Desire’ and ‘Sad Songs’ Videos

EDITOR’S NOTE: Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms are No Depression’s Spotlight artists for Nov. 2024. Learn more about them and their new album, Gold in Your Pocket (released Nov.15 on Free Dirt Records), in this interview, and look for more all month long.

To be chained by desire is to be unable to be free, because you’re always looking for something more. As Klauder says by way of introduction to his song “Chained by Desire,” “this song is a conversation I had with myself telling myself to be content with what you have, and quit looking for the greener grass over the fence. Everything’s fine and okay where you are; you’re where you’re meant to be.” Worthy and sound advice for us all.

This month, Clauder and Willms each recorded a song just for No Depression readers.

Here is Klauder’s “Chained by Desire:”
