\u201cTight Spots\u201d is a winking folk-rock dirge in which the protagonist cites examples of his\u00a0escaping tough predicaments and declares an attitude of perseverance\u2014while observing that the biggest test of his determination is a situation from which he does not necessarily want to break free. The track is slated for inclusion in a forthcoming 10-song album from Moon Pie Curtis, which also will be available on streaming platforms as well as in vinyl LP format.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
