Mountain of the Sun

Mountain of the Sun is the eighth track from Greta Van Fleet's debut studio album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army.

About the song
The song was described as an "upbeat love song with a great chorus and slide guitar riff" that carries on through the whole song.

About his slide guitar technique on the song, Jake Kiszka said: "I put a copper slide on the ring finger of my left hand. I’ve kind of worked out a cool technique. I can slide up on that finger and bring it back down, and if I’m using an open tuning, I can then fret notes using my middle finger and pinky. I’m basically holding my slide finger up in the air when I do that. It’s a little tricky, but it works."

Trivia

 * Josh Kiszka yells near the end of the track "Pata Pata", a clear reference to 1967's song and album of the same name by South African singer, Miriam Makeba.
