Given that American Gun singer-songwriter Todd Mathis is a long-time contributor to Twangville, I’ll admit to a bit of bias when it comes to the band’s latest release. But there is only a bit of bias when I say that this is the way that rock and roll is supposed to be played. And by that I mean it should be played loud and often.
A strummed electric guitar sets the stage as Mathis sings, “All the therapists in town, they know me by name. ‘Cause all the girls I’m with, they’re a little bit crazy.” A persistent rhythm jumps into the fray as the band builds to what is best described as a cathartic chorus.
Purchase the “Therapy” single here and get a choice cover of Butch Walker and the Marvelous Three’s “Freak of the Week.” I knew there was a reason that Todd fit in so well at Twangville.
