If you thought Sam Morrow’s music couldn’t get any dirtier or rawer, you’d be wrong.
Morrow is back with a new album, out tomorrow, and the title says it all. Southern Boogie is full of greasy songs, loud guitars, and rhythms primed for booty-shakin’.
The nods to Little Feat and early Robert Palmer that have always run through Morrow’s sound are still here. This time, though, he leans hard into classic Southern Rock — think ZZ Top and Molly Hatchet, a band he name-checks on “Saturday Night,” the song Twangville is premiering today.
Says Morrow about the song:
Saturday Night is a raucous and droning krautrock song following a guy taking on the night and feeling like nothing can stop him. Powerful female background vocals and a sax solo top off a night that he wishes wouldn’t end.
Twangville is honored to premiere “Saturday Night” from Sam Morrow’s Southern Boogie, due out tomorrow.
