Sinead Burgess has not had a release for nearly two and a half years, however ahead of her filling the support slot on the upcoming Kezia Gill UK Tour she has a brand spanking new single, "Rolling Stones". No stranger to UK country fans having previously toured with The Shires, this will act as reminder to those that have seen before and an invite for those that haven't!
"Rolling Stones" taps into that feeling that only music really has, to transport you back to a certain time in your life. It may be good or bad, happy or sad but hear a certain song and suddenly the memories and emotions of bygone times come flooding back.
Sinead's inspiration is The Rolling Stones and with the aid of co writer Brian Koppelman, they are able to evoke the feeling of Mick & Keith in both sound and words.
The opening few seconds with that lead guitar manage to sound like two or three Rolling Stones tunes simultaneously while at the same time sounding more alive than anything the band have released in the last forty years. It also announces that it is taking us back to a vibrant time in life and opens with Sinead in a reflective mood lyrically while vocally she is ready to rock
"I’ve been in love 2 times since,
Heard you got married and I’m so glad you did.
Guess we grew up from the kids we used to be,
I still see the moment you made a woman out of me."
Later verses slide in some Stones references into the lyrics and there's a nice distinction made between The Stones and fans of the more ponderous Led Zeppelin.
"You tried to start me up but I was already revving,
First boy who didn’t play me stairway to heaven.
Yeah I’m kind of sorry that I couldn’t stay,
Guess those wild horses could drag me away.
With hand clapping, a harmonica and harmonies from backing singers alongside some solid drumming this has all the elements of a Rolling Stones record without veering into being a pastiche - it has a good time party feeling stamped all over it.
