Song Review- The Drowns “1979 Trans Am” from the album Blacked Out

This entire album (just released earlier this month) is a rollicking good time all the way through and it was a tough choice but I eventually landed on this song.  I think that is mostly because its style brought me right back to a point in my 20’s when we out too often and too late and just having a great time.  Plus, songs about cool cars are just classic and fun.

This one comes in on a nice bit of percussion work that gives the song a snappy, light start before the rockabilly guitars cut in and weave between the sing-song lyrical pieces.  There is also a great bass line running along in this track that beats just as hard as the drum.  By the time you get to the end…well, you have had a good time listening for sure.

Remember to support your local artists as much as you can – community is powerful 🙂 

And please think about purchasing this song from them after you listen – streaming music does not pay much even times a thousand…
