There is often a discussion about “What is Country” or whether a song actually is “Country”. When Lars Pluto sings, it is 100% Country – with that voice of his, it can’t be anything else! Passionate about his music, passionate about the genre Lars Pluto is certainly a character on the scene, and his performances – whether on stage, in a stage show or in a recording studio are also always 100%
Lars has released his new
single Give Me A Song which is following the well-known theme of Heartache –
but he has recorded it in an up tempo 90s Country style, because of course he
has! Lars has also chosen to release the
track on a Tuesday, because of course he has.
While the song musically has all the hallmarks of a bouncy 90s country track it is very well written, treating Heartache as though it is a person, and Lars is talking directly to her/him/it.
If you’re gonna hang around too long, Heartache give me a song
A broken heart is a blessing
in disguise to a songwriter – let’s face it, it’s the backbone of Country song writing,
and Lars takes that idea and makes the theme into the theme of the song. I guess this is the musical equivalent of
putting a brave face on things. It is no
great surprise for this bad boy of UK Country to put his own twist on things, and
to also show off his abilities and the talents of his band The Reavers – Tom Wright
on Electric guitar and backing vocals (as well as producing the track) Phil Bloomberg
on bass and Mikey Cinacio on drums. It’s
a sad tale but a fun song, which no doubt will get people dancing, smiling and
thinking about heartache all at the same time!
As Lars describes it
The boys all played the hell out of this tune. I hope y’all like it as much as we do
Reckon we will Lars, reckon we will.
