Perception and reputation are 9/10th of the law in the music biz. Even on the tertiary level where I roam. If this song was from any other artist I may have passed on it. I may not have given it a chance to develop. But since the band in question is Amy Helm’s NYC roots supergroup Ollabelle I gave it a chance and another and another. I’m still a little torn as the song’s style, lyrical theme, and Amy’s breathy vocals are not my favorites. But the groove is hard to resist.
This is from the new record Neon Blue Bird.
