Six White Horses is the second single to be taken from the new album, The Diamond Hill which is due for release on November 8th 2024,.

This soulful song is a touching tribute to the wisdom and memories left by those that came before. With a hint of folk-rock and with the timeless power of storytelling, Shalliker’s single cuts close to the bone for listeners of all walks of life, moving those feelings in regard to gratitude and memory. Shalliker is joined on The Diamond Hill by longtime collaborators in the form of Tony Davies, who handles bass duties, and Alex McGinnes, who provides harmonica, rounding out Shalliker’s already familiar sound.
