Chris Erasmus is a singer-songwriter and a country folk artist who tells stories as generously and expansively as a movie. There are highs and lows, a valley of narratives and emotions spreading out like a panorama. His latest release is ‘Shotgun’, a bright and vibrant country rock song that is infused with rolling blues, drawling baritones, and a bright guitar cast. The track is colored in with a retro rock ethos. The rock, country, folk, and blues all form simultaneously, seamlessly, sliding into each other in ways that are reminiscent of so many iconic bands. From The Allman Brothers Band and Hank Williams to Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Outlaws. 

The composition is magnificent, so affecting. The instrumentals are dynamic and mercurial, flowing with a pulse and emotion of its own. The rhythm transfers nicely to the vocal sentiments and trajectories. It’s like two tectonic plates shifting and aligning across the soundscape. They have their own journey, but they meet somewhere in the middle and travel a little while together. The guitar work is especially amazing with electric textures streaking through. The grooves, solos, and the blues are lip smacking to say the least. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
