American Idol season 22 finalist Will Moseley has released his original song “Good Book Bad” today. Listen here, via 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville.  A spirited and heartfelt tale of redemption, the deeply-felt song with a decidedly classic country sound is concocted with the perfect recipe: honesty, forthrightness and supreme melody. 

Written by Jordan Walker, Lalo Guzman and Thomas Archer, “Good Book Bad” — a narrative-driven song of second chances amid life’s turbulent ride —  instantly spoke to the  husky voiced troubadour: as soon as Moseley heard the demo, he felt a deeply personal connection to the song’s resonant message. 

“‘Good Book Bad’ is a song that just instantly connects,” says Moseley. “From the first time I heard a demo of the song I knew the guys that wrote it had something very special, and I was honored to be a part of it. It’s a song that takes you through bad decisions, unexpected blessings, and the trials of life while always reminding you where the answers are found. I’ve had friends in these exact situations and have had my fair share of screw-ups and I think that’s what makes the song so special to me.”

A 23-year-old Georgia native with a raspy drawl and a soulful delivery, Moseley is a finalist on American Idol season 22. A former collegiate football player, Moseley first picked up the guitar while attending his alma mater, Georgia Southern University. 

The winner of American Idol will be announced on May 19.
