"Angel's Son" was written for Strait Up, the tribute record put together after the death of Snot's founding singer James Lynn Strait, and it's a Sevendust affair at heart. Lajon Witherspoon and Clint Lowery wrote it, and Witherspoon sings lead, with Lowery on guitar and vocals, their bandmate Morgan Rose on drums, and former Snot member Sonny Mayo, who later spent time in Sevendust on guitar.
Released on Immortal Records and credited to Strait Up featuring Lajon, the acoustic tribute reached 11 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and 15 on Modern Rock Tracks, and Sevendust went on to cut a studio version of their own for their 2001 album Animosity.
