Bob released his debut single in March and scored a #2 hit on the Country Charts –he has now released the rest of the EP to follow up that success
We already know that Running
From The Rain is a dramatic song, with country themes, staccato drums and something spectacular from the guitar, but
does the rest of the EP stack up the same?
One
Of These Nights certainly
carries on in the same vein of explosive opening, punchy instrumentation and a country
theme – this time its about drinking!
While the idea “get some friends together” seems like a distant memory
at the moment, the song summons up those memories of all-nighters, wild nights
and just hanging with friends and will hopefully get you planning for when the
bars open again. Tequila, whiskey and sangria – I’m in!
She’ll Do
slows the pace, and reverts to just an acoustic guitar to accompany Bob’s
vocals, quite an old fashioned sound with a beat to sway along to, With a very
clever play on the dual meaning of “she’ll do” in this song about love,
relationships and choices.
Final track Run serves
to round off the EP nicely – and sounds like the kind of track to end a live
set. The tempo and style bring together the best of Bob’s ability, and it is a
travelling track, making you yearn for the open road and long summer days “as
we’re gonna chase the setting sun”
So, does the whole EP
measure up to the initial hit single? Yes it does, a well-paced well matched
collection of songs with the feeling that Bob needs the festival season to come
back soon so he can truly show off his ability.
Another Highway, the new EP from Bob Fitzgerald is available on all digital platforms from 24 April and can be pre-ordered now
