The Latest release from US-based Roots Rock band Trickshooter Social Club is the fiery and energetic single titled “Mile Wide”. While this song has every rock n roll purist’s dream elements, it still has a clean production and awesome vocals that make it a fresh and modern sounding modern classic.
The song begins with a stomp-clap kinda beat coupled with a harmonica, highly reverbed vocals and is shortly joined by the guitars and bass. The vocals have a mix of huskiness, raspiness, and grit but still retain their melodic nature…the lead singer is magnificent in every sense of the word. The hook has a horn/brass section interplaying with the lead guitar, and after two choruses we get to an awesome guitar solo which immediately generates a beer pint and a leather jacket to whoever listens to it.
The drums, bass, and rhythm guitar are as present as you’d want them to be in a Classic Rock tune, but there’s a country music quality and flavour you get from the rhythm and the additional instruments that makes this song.
All in all, The way this awesome band has an element that represents Classic Rock in a pure way but still flirts with other genres like Country and Blues is the true charm that they have. And if you’re looking for a fine upbeat Roots Rock song that doesn’t overdo the style or sway from its normal tropes, then Mile Wide is definitely the right pick for you.
