“Hurtin’ Me Baby” by the Krayolas is an unplugged, unabashed homage to Bob Dylan just in time for his 85th birthday on May 24. It’s one of the acclaimed new tracks on “Barbed Wire Road.”

“Hurtin’ Me Baby” follows the success on SiriusXM Outlaw Country channel of “Surf’s Down,” “Under One Roof” and “Exit Salida.”

In the reporting period from March 7, 2026 to May 7, 2026, heavy rotation airplay for “Exit Salida” on satellite radio kept the upbeat outlaw-garage song in the Top 40 Most Played Songs on Outlaw Country (Source: XM playlist.com).
