Song of the Day: RJArcher and The Painful Memories-Get It Together

 

Null


Words by Anselm Anderson


Blues act RJ Archer and The Painful Memories return with their newest single, "Get It Together." The track is the latest from their upcoming album, "The Cost of Loving Crisis." They continue from their previous release on this enjoyable teaser for the new album.

I previously reviewed "Got to Leave," which I described as a throwback to the Delta Blues Era. "Get It Together follows on with a similar charm. The band, which features vocalist Richard Archer, bassist Richard James, guitarist Ben Kingsbury, and drummer Marc Ritchie, formed five years ago due to a shared interest in 60s and 70s rock music. The track is heavily influenced by Chicago Blues, which is evident with the continuous stop-start rhythm throughout the track.

The track opens with RJ Archer's unmistakable vocals, conveying warmth and glee, while the bass and guitars combine. The rhythm builds tension, creating a sense of intrigue and mystery, before transitioning to an infectious chorus. The band seems to be having fun as the rhythm builds up to a raucous guitar solo. The influences of the 60s and 70s are showcased through steady drumbeats and expressive guitar lines, making this track ideal for blues enthusiasts.

RJ Archer and The Painful Memories are gearing up for a new album, which is promised to be filled with musical delights.
