Single / Video Review
We’re inching closer to the release of alt-country rocker, Patrick Sharrow’s debut album ‘The Heartland’ on 14th July. The title track is available now on all streaming services but he’s also recently released a charming video for the sumptuous track ‘Lightning in the Jetstream’ which is also available now.
‘Lightning..’ is a fabulous “boy meets girl and a bottle of JD in the back seat of a vehicle” tale in the vein of ‘Jack & Diane’, but it rolls along like ‘Summer of ‘69’ with a bright and breezy, carefree touch. It’s one of those timeless feel-good nostalgic songs that would grace the soundtrack to any summer. Patrick’s vocal is right on-point and he slips in some perfectly placed guitar work too.
The album has been a couple of years in the making while Patrick has been paying his dues in Nashville but it sounds like it’s all coming together nicely.
