“I grew up listening to King George, so many of his songs hold a special place in my heart,” Morris shared in a comment on YouTube. “But ‘Carrying Your Love With Me’ in particular has always been a favorite. (I’m from West Virginia and I live in Tennessee now, so you can understand why).”
“I got this sample cleared. I got permission from the original songwriters,” he explains. “I release this song with their blessing, and not only are they credited on my record, but they will receive publishing royalties as well. Respect to them and respect to King George!”
