Someone on Reddit says they got a Renaissance vibe from it - and I thought that too even before I read that comment, but the vocals are not any member of that band, I’m pretty certain.

Just don’t come knockin’.
I was thinking the first incarnation of Renaissance, but the vocalist doesn’t sound like Jane Relf, who was the vocalist before Annie Haslam.

Perhaps the band is from 2020, and this is a clever viral marketing gimmick?
I don’t really think that is the case, but I’m sure somebody has thought to do something like that as a way to promote their music.

You should update this post — someone on the original thread has identified it (Johnny Cash).

i was thinking Renaissance as well, but it’s rockier than they were. the voice sure is similar, though.

There’s no way that’s Annie Haslam.
