"Barton Hollow" was available for download on January 10, 2011 and was also released on limited edition 7" vinyl. The song's music video was taken in a shoot in a rural location called Mt. Zion, near Minor Hill, Tennessee. As regards the song's title, it refers to the community of Barton, Alabama, a few miles from White's hometown of Muscle Shoals. In an interview with The Sun, White explained that they (he and Williams) "wanted a picturesque name for the place and it was the first thing that popped in [his] head and Joy liked the way it sounded."
