Need something to listen to while you are grinding on your next big project? Or maybe you need something to grind to while you are revving up your truck on the road? There’s nothing more reinvigorating than the rock single, Old Pop’s Truck by FOLSOM. Old Pop’s Truck will have you hitting the repeat button. FOLSOM has fully delivered with a prog-rock guitar and country bassline revving it up alongside a thumping drum line and a raspy, hard, stretched voice.

Now, this song isn’t only about riding and loving your truck. You can feel the history and hardships the band has left behind by persevering as Peter Cattet, the vocalist, sings in his gritty voice, “I am a kind who ain’t new/seen miles and miles—that’s true.”

This song is a tribute to the four horsemen’s friend Pop, who just became a father and has relentlessly worked to keep the tires on his truck running. It’s a creative metaphor urging the listeners to keep working on the things they love.

FOLSOM has also set a score on friendship by writing a song for their friend, Pop, at the right time by celebrating his success. The French rock band sets a catchy tune in their rock single, ‘Old Pop’s Truck.’ The deep vocals also show a large range while you enjoy the prancing electric guitar play and the amazing drum beats accompanied by clashing cymbals, especially at the bridge and toward the end. The single ends memorably with the guitar strings ringing in your ear as they slowly release the chords.
