“When you pass on, what you gonna pass down?” the country stars ask in the song, which tells the tale of a landowning family <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tHardy<\/a> assembles an all-star cast of male country singers to chronicle the history of a plot of land in the old-timey ballad \u201cMcArthur.\u201d Featuring Tim McGraw<\/a>, Eric Church<\/a>, and Morgan Wallen<\/a>, the song finds each artist inhabiting a specific member of the landowning (fictional) McArthur family.<\/p>\n \n\tMcGraw is John McArthur, a farmer with a mule and a plow who\u2019s now just a \u201cwhisper in the wind through the pine trees.\u201d Church<\/a> portrays his son, Junior, killed in Vietnam. Hardy<\/a> embodies Jones McArthur, who raises an heir more invested in money than dirt. And Wallen voices Hunter McArthur, the money-focused son haunted by second thoughts over selling the family\u2019s acreage.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI\u2019m Hunter McArthur and the deal looks good\/In 18 months this\u2019ll be a neighborhood,\u201d Wallen sings. \u201cI got a million-dollar line I can sign my name on\/But there\u2019s a whisper in the pines that\u2019s tellin\u2019 me don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn the chorus, the song poses one key question: \u201cWhen you pass on, what you gonna pass down?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tProduced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church\u2019s longtime producer), \u201cMcArthur\u201d also features Old Crow Medicine Show\u2019s Ketch Secor<\/a> on fiddle.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201c\u2018McArthur\u2019 is a very special one,\u201d\u00a0Hardy said in a statement. \u201cIt came together pretty fast. I know I wrote the song, but I also feel like how did I end up on this song? It\u2019s a lineup of absolute legends.\u201d<\/p>\n
