NEW MUSIC RELEASE
Carrie McRae & The Pitmasters

Some roads take you somewhere.
Others tell you who you are.

Chasing Smoke is a cinematic barbecue road song — a journey through Texas towns where fire, smoke, and tradition still matter.

Sunrise pits.
Long lines.
Late-night embers.

It’s about patience.
It’s about the people you meet along the way.
It’s about chasing something real… until it finally feels like home.

No lyrics needed.
Just fire, food, and the road ahead.

🔥 Featuring legendary Texas stops:
Franklin Barbecue
InterStellar BBQ
The Salt Lick BBQ
CorkScrew BBQ
Truth BBQ
Goldee’s Barbecue
Panther City BBQ
Dayne’s Craft Barbecue
Snow’s BBQ
Kreuz Market
Terry Black’s Barbecue

Turn it on.
Take the drive.
