Single Review - Roadhouse - Jessica Lynn

If you’ve seen Jessica Lynn play live, you’ll recognise her new single Roadhouse instantly

If you haven’t seen Jessica and the band live – where have you been?  No worries, they are on the road this year, playing at Tennessee Fields festival as well as a string of UK dates in 2022!

So, for context, Roadhouse is a high energy party song which is ideal for the style of Jessica’s performance – bouncing around the stage, shaking that incredible hair and belting out a feel-good tune.  The whole band are involved in this, and when they are on stage you can see how much fun they are all having – from Husband Steve on guitar, Dad Pete on Bass, Mum Victoria on background vocals and Uncle Bob on pedal steel (an occasionally stealing centre stage!)

Lets turn this place into a Roadhouse, lets get those girls up the bar

Turn up that Country Music, clear those tables off the floor

The only concern when a live song is released as a single is whether it will translate.  No concerns here – listening to this track even through earphones (as I am doing right now) instantly takes you to the love show feeling that we have all been missing for so long!   Whether you see or have seen Jessica on a small intimate stage or a festival stage the energy is the same – and it is 100% apparent in this recording!



Having spoken to Jessica when the last tour had to be cancelled, I know just how much they miss live performance and touring – and the UK!  The whole band were disappointed to miss out on their regular trip and are all excited to be back on the road, even though it will mean leaving Audrey the wonder dog at home!

The track opens loud with guitar, keys, drums before the vocal comes in – but those musicians don’t let up!  It is energy from start to finish just as a rousing country song should be!  The bass line and drumbeat will have you tapping clapping or stamping along, the guitar breaks from Steve are, as ever, sublime, and it is wonderful to hear the input from every member of the band throughout – and be able to hear them all due to the great production mix.

With a return to normal within our grasp, and the festivals being announced this single release is absolutely perfect to get you ready for the big live shows that are to come.

See you there?
