Mr. Business by Bootleg Royale: Review
Bootleg Royale makes fantastic psychedelic rock music with a bit of blues. Their track “Mr. Business” pays homage to vintage hits from the golden age of rock, where essence was born. This accuracy is brought on by the guitar’s dreamy tone and the singer’s approach to singing. Which by the way, is such a nostalgic way to sing a tune; it just takes you back to the good old days.
“Mr. Business” reminds me of a time when every musician was glued to the radio, hoping to hear their favorite song and press record! Luckily for us, we get to hear fresh music that portrays melodies from eons ago with a modern twist. This is where Bootleg Royale comes into the picture with its classic rock sound. Especially when the facets of blues and psychedelia all enter the mix. Right, so about the song’s structure, let’s talk about what makes it so fascinating. Well, think of a buttery smooth guitar piece connecting with a groovy bassline to form a tune. Bootleg Royale accomplishes this sensationally and adds a sprinkle of vocal magic to complete the mix.
You won’t hear the term “back in my day, rock used to be like this or that” with songs such as Mr. Business by Bootleg Royale. ‘Cause the act does a sensational job of bringing out the essence of classic psychedelic rock and adding a contemporary feel to it. So much so that your wild grandpa, who misses the yesteryear of rock, will appreciate Bootleg Royale’s piece too!
