Bringing his own brand of the Bakersfield sound to a modern audience, David Serby’s “Don’t Stay Fixed” feels breezy and effortless on the surface, even as its lyrics weave through layers of clever wordplay and intricate rhyme. What began as a joke about a broken amplifier that refused to stay repaired became the heart of the song—a reflection on how some things just won’t hold together, no matter how many times you try to fix them.“Don’t Stay Fixed” reminds us that sometimes the cracks are the story.
His album Broken Heart at a Honky Tonk is out May 29th.
