"What I Can't Put Down"
From 'Write You a Song' (2014)Guitar-laden and hard rocking, "What I Can't Put Down" is a barn-burner all about the things and people we gravitate to -- for better or worse. Written by Pardi along with Brice Long and Bart Butler, this track showcases Pardi's rebel rocker side; his style in the video reminds us of old-school Elvis Presley, complete with a couple swiveling hips and rubber legs.
