“Hard Working Man”
“Aim High”
“Dark Cloud”

“Blues Worse Than I Ever Had”
King said of the first single "Hard Working Man":
“We tour almost 200 days of the year, and even when I’m home, I’m doing something. Working hard is just the way I was raised. It would make my grandfather proud to know I’m a hard working man and I’ve worked for everything I have. It’s an anthem for the people. You’ve got folks who work all week and spend their hard-earned money just to come see us. They’re the backbone of America. It’s a real blessing.”
