A Hard Grooving Single From Flagbone Sty
A fresh new release from Flagbone Sty gives off a well-rounded and deep grooved blues and Funk Rock approach that gets your blood pumping and portrays some experienced musicianship along with heart and just the right energy to make it all work perfectly.
"Give and Surrender" has a way of digging right in from the get-go as that Groove is indeed quite infectious and once it gets rolling it keeps snowballing into something absolutely fun and Incredibly danceable.
This track certainly brings that classic funk undertone and it feels good to listen to it because the performance of everything is spot on.
As a matter of fact listening to this track almost gives off a sort of live performance feel because it almost seems like the players in the band are feeding off of each other's energies the entire time.
So, because of that you get this vivacious and colorful feel and tonality but you also get that hint of edginess and this polished Sheen that makes everything crisp.
This one gets to you pretty quickly and you can't listen to the song without shaking your ass in your seat or singing along and dancing around the living room.
It's really refreshing to hear a song that has that great guitar work in a rock element but also bears so much soul especially vocally.
So, in essence this is really like a soul rock type of jam but it's got this certain jive to it that gets you up and going.
This absolutely makes you want to see these guys play live just to see if that energy and feel is the same in a live performance setting which I'm willing to bet it is. But more importantly I think it's quite difficult to get that kind of energy and feel on a recording like this and have it come through as impactful as it does on this single.
That's the kind of thing we look for in music like this. We want something that makes us feel and takes us away from whatever's going on so that we can just soak in the song.
This track feels great to listen to from beginning to end and for anyone that loves vibrant music of any type, this is definitely for you.
I happen to absolutely love that funk and rock combination especially when there's guitar work as good as there is on this one but there's also outstanding drumming and the vocals really take the cake along with the base and keys that round everything out and bring just as much life as the rest of the instruments and performers.
And that is kind of the coolest thing about the song is that it's alive and breathing and you can feel it in your bones.
We all need music like this especially when we first wake up in the morning because a track like this one can really get the right mood going and once that happens it can change the rest of your whole day to be very positive.
This is an enormous track from a band of seasoned players that really know how to put a song together and make it work with a charm.
Dive into this one when you can.
