Listen: Better Than Ezra cover Role Model’s ‘Sally, When the Wine Runs Out’

Better Than Ezra has released an energetic cover of Role Model's hit ‘Sally, When the Wine Runs Out'.

The group carefully preserve the spirit of the rising smash, while turning up the volume, boosting the gain, and adding their own unmistakable and undeniable touch. Upbeat riffing locks right into a head-nodding groove as vocalist and guitarist Kevin Griffin carries the original’s lyrics with swagger and style. Take a listen:

“We’ve loved this Role Model song since it came out a few months ago,” shares Griffin. “At a recent soundcheck, we started playing it and decided we had to do our own version of the song just in time for the dog days of summer. Enjoy!” 

‘Sally, When The Wine Runs Out' appears on the deluxe version of Role Model’s latest album, ‘Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye)'. The track has generated over 100 million streams and made its presence known on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay Chart, Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Chart, and Hot Alternative Songs Chart.

Better Than Ezra will perform at Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, TN on 27th and 28th September. It will be the band’s eighth appearance on the bill.

Last year, Better Than Ezra unveiled their tenth album and first full-length LP in a decade, ‘Super Magick'. 2025 notably marks the 30th anniversary of Better Than Ezra’s PLATINUM-certified classic breakout album, ‘Deluxe'.
