Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the exclusive premiere of "Horse Heaven Hills," a new song by Chicago's Crow Moses.

The song — which was released today — is the title track from Moses' new album, which will be released September 9.

Horse Heaven Hills, which was produced by Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, walks the line between indie-blues and urban Americana, borrowing elements of experimental folk and broken-down orchestral music.
