Single Review - Getaway Car - Jessica Lynn

 

Whether seeing Jessica Lynn and her band live or listening to them on a new release, you can be sure that there will be energy in the music – and the latest single Getaway Car is no exception.

Husband and lead guitarist Steve opens the track with a repeating guitar riff accompanied by handclaps, setting the tempo and tone for what is to come. In come the vocals, interspersing with the music until Jessica starts the lyrics, neatly accompanied by backing vocals. 

A different style for Jessica, a bit more “hip”, less powerful in places but it lets her tell the story, and there is lot of story squeezed in there! We can hear the country twang in her voice as she sings, and you can hear Jessica’s smile when she is singing – smiling at the thought of this guy who “stole her heart in a getaway car” and also smiling at the joy of performing.

On stage, the whole band have a bouncy style of performing, and that is evident in this track, as the combined instruments, guitars, steel and drums  take us along with the song.  A wonderful solo guitar break takes us into a quieter interlude, almost a pause for breath before the jump back to the faster tempo

The “na na “ chorus will have you wanting to wave your hands in the air as you can almost picture the getaway car driving down a country road, windows down, “radio turned up to 10” dreaming of summer escapes

 

Getaway Car will leave you feeling kind of reckless, and certainly leave you smiling!

Getaway Car, the new single from Jessica Lynn is available to stream and download from Friday 29 January

Single Review - Nobody Somebody - Gary Quinn

 

Nobody Somebody, the brand new single from Gary Quinn, feels incredibly honest, the words feel like a stripped back confession and a declaration of love not just for a person, but for what they have brought out in him

It is a very Gary song, a love song, one that describes the power that love has over another person. It's a very clever idea, we all want to be somebody, love changes our expectations and therefore probably does help achieve those new goals.

On stage, Gary often proves that he is just as comfortable alone with his acoustic guitar as with a full band, in fact he seems to have the voice and manner most suited to the pure storytelling of the songwriters rounds that he has hosted so many times.  Gary doesn’t need gimmicks or productions, he just needs a stool and a microphone, and whilst the instrumentation on Nobody Somebody is very clever and pleasant, it is his voice and his words that cut through and are what you really need to be listening to.  His voice works for this song, the song works for his voice and it will be a pleasure to hear in one of his acoustic sessions.

Single Review - Hail Mary - Jessica Lynne Witty

 

Nashville based artist Jessica Lynne Witty is starting the new year right, with a sassy song about being who you want to be.  From the first notes of Hail Mary you can hear her attitude, absolutely reflected in her vocal style as it come in over the strong drum beat and guitar intro – which also set the tone for the whole song.

It has the modern Nashville production but the song itself covers the Country bases  of alcohol and love, and she even covers religion – although she “don’t need your Hail Mary” you should save it for yourself.

The song is upbeat country rock, it is screaming to be performed on that small stage in a local bar you see in the movies, but with her attitude you can be sure that Jessica would be just as comfortable owning a big stage

You will be toe tapping along, even if only in your living room, you can sing the bad word if you want to, but you will definitely feel more upbeat and ready to take on whatever is thrown your way, knowing you have love and support from those closest to you. 

This is the prayer we need now!
