“I’m Going To Memphis” is one of those songs that will fit perfectly in a movie…especially when the characters of the movie are actually going to Memphis Tennessee…I can practically hear it in my head playing in the scene.

The song is a very upbeat and energetic rockabilly experience with a very focused and tight playtime of 3 minutes.

“I’m Going To Memphis” is part of Dream Trippers‘ EP “The Sound Of Sun“…and this song has a backstory to it…actually the band got some recording time in the iconic Sun Studio, actually  Brian Cottrill’s wife booked this studio time as a birthday present to him…and this was the beginning of the 11 hours road trip journey to reach the iconic studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

Dream Trippers always manages to keep their energy and their unique style of the iconic 50s at the highest levels of production…”I’m Going To Memphis” carries the emotional energy and upbeat nature of the happiness the band were going through along their journey to the iconic studio…and this emotional energy comes through the record crystal clear.

The song starts with a very charismatic tom toms intro on the drums…the vocals with its flavorsome slapback delay and the rockabilly guitars and bouncy bass lines…it’s a very enjoyable ride, something to start your day with to get a boost of bright emotions…it’s the equivalent of a musical energy drink.

We wish all the best to the Dream Trippers, they are absolutely crushing it.

Cheers!

The duo Dream Trippers consists of Bob Workman on drums, percussion and vocals and Brian Cottrill on guitar, bass, keyboards, electric sitar and vocals. Despite just having started the Dream Trippers, their harmony runs deep as they join forces in Cottrill’s solo project and in 2 other bands The Grey Agents and Saints of the Holler. They released “The Original Atom” announcing and teasing their upcoming self-titled album set to be released on the 10th of next February.

“The Original Atom” has a 60’s rock nostalgic feel with its catchy loopy electric sitar riff, one chord crunchy guitar, old school rock beat, and melodic bass line in the chorus. Cottrill starts the song in a spoken word tone, setting the theme of the song as a search for answers and understanding of one’s place in the world and universe. While in chorus he reflects on the idea of being a piece of the original atom, connected to the creation of the universe and how this realisation makes him feel insignificant yet powerful. I definitely recommend “The Original Atom” if you are looking for a 60’s rock original song that’s released with an equally trippy music video. Also the song builds up the hype for their upcoming album which I’m personally excited about.
