Robbie Rapidsโ โMule of Mineโ is a foot-stomping, storytelling adventure wrapped in twangy, spaghetti western country rock. Itโs got all the charm of an old-time folk tale mixed with a good olโ Friday night jam session.
โMule of Mineโ kicks off with warm, rustling guitar strums that instantly set the mood, like the soundtrack to a cowboy strutting into town. Then comes Robbieโs vocals, thick with reverb, a little muffled at first, almost like heโs singing through a dusty saloon mic. But as the verse unfolds, his voice lifts, pulling you right into the story of one runaway mule with a serious case of wanderlust.
And what a story it is. Our star mule isnโt just skipping work, heโs out living his best life, belly-flopping into a country club pool while his poor farmer loses his mind trying to track him down. Itโs classic country humor, but with a rock โnโ roll edge. The drums thump with steady determination, the banjo picks up the pace, and when those simulated horns kick in, you know this is a fun adventure. The song throws in some feisty guitar solos too, just to make sure youโre still on your feet.
The backstory makes it even cooler. What started as a loose idea from book author Tony Tiffin turned into a fully realized, high-energy tune thanks to Robbie Rapids and legendary guitarist David Levene (of psychedelic rock band Laghonia fame). And for Robbie, this is a first dive into country rockโbut you wouldnโt know it. The track flows naturally, with tight instrumentation and infectious energy that makes you want to whistle along.
By the end, our farmer gives inโditching work to relax by the pool with his newly upgraded Cool โMule of Mineโ. And honestly, after listening to this track, you might just feel like doing the same.
