Written by The Overtones ‘Gambling Man’ is taken from their debut Top 5 album ‘Good Ol’ Fashioned Love’, which is certified platinum with sales now exceeding 300,000 copies.
A collection of classic reinterpretations and original songs ‘Good Ol’ Fashioned Love’, and the group’s acclaimed live performances, has attracted legions of fans and critical acclaim from home and abroad. Check out their take on Aloe Blacc's 'I Need A Dollar' below.
