SINGLE REVIEW: MIKE FREUND - Kicking Dirt

"Kicking Dirt" invites you on a journey through the rugged terrains of hardship, emerging from the earthy depths of the Deep South. This soul-stirring ballad encapsulates the challenges faced by those weathering difficult times, crafting a narrative of resilience. Despite its weighty themes, the song maintains a rhythmic pulse that propels listeners forward, echoing the unstoppable spirit it honors.

Beyond mere music, "Kicking Dirt" becomes a companion for those who have traversed life's trials and emerged fortified. It stands as a homage to the underprivileged, a testament to their strength, and a rallying cry to persist against all odds.

The musical arrangement intentionally captures the soul of Southern blues, drawing from a rich tradition that speaks of both sorrow and hope. The recording process was a labour of passion. Picture a slide guitar painting vivid sonic images, akin to a storyteller's voice. The overdriven organ adds a deep, resonant tone, and the steady drumbeat echoes like a heartbeat. The vocals, delivered with raw authenticity, capture the poignant blend of pain and hope within the lyrics.

In essence, "Kicking Dirt" embodies the idea that, no matter the severity of the situation, there's strength in propelling forward, in persistently "kicking dirt" in the face of adversity. It transcends being a mere song; it's a melodic testimony to endurance and finding hope amid life's challenges.
