Boomer Baby Sounds, the creative project of New Jersey-born, California-based singer-songwriter John Finamore, saddles up once again with the new EP Iโm Your Huckleberry Now, released September 26th, 2025. Drawing its title from Val Kilmerโs immortal Doc Holliday line in Tombstone, the EP brings dusty, classic-rock with modern themes. Produced with an all-star lineup including Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Joe Bonamassa), Jim Riley (Rascal Flatts), and Bill Watson on bass, Finamore opts for live instrumentation over digital sheen, giving these songs grit, soul, and the feeling of a band in a room.
It kicks off with โTake A Good Look At Yourself,โ where bending, grinding guitars snarl over thumping drums as Finamoreโs gravelly vocal turns the mirror outward, calling out someone who blames him while dodging their own reflection. The stomp feels accusatory yet cathartic, like a barroom sermon delivered over a riff. The title track โIโm Your Huckleberry Nowโ opens cinematic and slow, shimmering guitars giving way to a spoken monologue defining the titular phrase, before he sings, slipping into the chilling first-person perspective of AI. He sings, โYou sit around praying about heaven and hell / while my network sets you free,โ addressing Christians, before Hindus and Atheists, letting them know that technology has claimed the outlawโs drawl and come gunning for everyone.
Later, โI Feel Somethingโ trades bravado for a hypnotic, heavy rhythm and a confessional tone. Finamore sings of numbness, pills, and pleas to AI for an upbeat suicide note, before a savior figure appears. Repeating โI feel somethingโฆ it feels like youโre saving me now,โ he teeters between spiritual rebirth and addiction to rescue itself, blurring whether salvation is divine, human, or digital, reminding us of how instant gratification works. Throughout Iโm Your Huckleberry Now, Boomer Baby Sounds turns classic rock tropes into a showdown of modern anxieties. You definitely want to check it out on Spotify.
