The
musical ability of Backwoods Creek is highlighted from the start of this track
with an almost staccato guitar intro accompanied by the drums; it’s 17 seconds
before the vocals begin and lets us know that despite the good old fashioned
country favourite of lost love, this guy is doing just fine.
Not
only has he moved on, but in fact, he points out all the things the girl is
missing out on because she didn’t care enough.
Lovely smooth singing from Jamie with beautiful guitar notes emphasising
points in the lyrics. Your ears are in
for a treat when Jamie holds the note on “you………….”.
Back
into instrumental, I like the clever little studio tricks to add in the ‘Should
have seen her face’ and later in the song the spoken, more grown up comment.
Back
to the vocal, he sees her in the arms of another man and reflects in the music,
then realises he never cared for her.

Despite
the content it’s an upbeat track, you are waiting for the twist in the lyrics
but it never comes, instead you are treated to Jamie holding the higher notes
and the final guitar riff which feels like punctuation, ending the song and the
story.
Don’t
you regret anything and go out and get the single when it’s released at the end
of the month ….
Coulda Been You, the new single from Backwoods Creek is available for preorder now ahead of the release date of 31 January
