COLD WORD

Description

After their critically acclaimed LP "Arcadia", THE BUTTSHAKERS return with a powerful new 45 RPM single for Record Store Day. A two-sided record with hard-hitting soul grooves. "Cold World," with its darker, Stax-influenced horn hook, compels the listener to move forward with an infectious groove and searing vocals. The riff is heavy, but the message remains hopeful: stay golden in a cold, isolating world. A post-COVID soul anthem. On the B-side, THE BUTTSHAKERS delve into the bluesy-country roots of soul music with "CROSSROAD." The intimate guitar-and-vocal intro gives way to a feverish drum and bass rhythm straight from the bayou. The song gallops and builds, drawing the listener into a strange and eerie journey to meet the devil at the crossroads. A legendary tale, reimagined with a bit of twang and a whole lot of soul.
