MUSIC FARMER 5 - Review by Adam Jones
The Thunderous Anthem of Resilience
In the dynamic sphere of country rock, HUCKLEBERRY ROAD emerges as a powerful force; blending raw vigor with melodies that resonate deep within the soul. Their latest single, "Quiet Anymore," heralds from the eagerly awaited album "Gasoline," setting a formidable standard for the genre.
The track greets listeners with a gnarly guitar riff, a precursor to the musical storm that unfolds. The subsequent entrance of robust drums and bass patterns mimic thunderclaps across vast plains, laying the groundwork for a sonic tempest. As the composition progresses, guitars ascend and weave through the rhythm, with an acoustic counterpart adding a pulsating essence to the mix, embodying the song's spirit of courage and defiance.
The vocal delivery by Robert James Clark's showcases a blend of authentic country soul and compelling, rebellious undertones. It's as though the echoes of country legends have been channeled through a voice that addresses the present, urging us to rise and be heard. The guitar leads, enchanting in their harmony and ruggedness, recall legends like Eric Clapton and Keith Urban, yet possess a uniqueness that is distinctly HUCKLEBERRY ROAD.
The bridge of "Quiet Anymore" stands as a declaration of rebellion, with a dueling guitar solo that pays homage to the epic confrontations of Van Halen, carving its own legendary narrative. This isn't just a moment within a song; it's a proclamation, a clarion call.
The unity of HUCKLEBERRY ROAD - Robert James Clark, Anthony Vairetta, and Dillon Secklin - is brilliantly displayed in the tight, explosive synchronization of the track. Every beat, every strum sends a surge of energy straight to the listener's core, culminating in a final, memorable delivery that imprints the song into your consciousness, compelling you to revisit the thrill over and again.
