The story behind the song

"Tush" captures the feeling of a simple, primal search, whether for comfort or something more. The word "tush" itself, as the band explained, carries a dual meaning in the South, referring to something "deluxe" or "plush"—a kind of secret blues language, as they put it. Written quickly during a soundcheck, this twelve-bar blues from their album Fandango! embodies a straightforward desire, a yearning to not be alone. It plays like a raw, unvarnished expression of needing a certain kind of satisfaction.
