The way you feel after listening to a song really matters and defines your reaction to it thereafter. Music has this powerful way of speaking to you in ways that only your heart or soul can comprehend, and that’s why it is a universal language. While I pressed play and “Hey Showtime” started unfolding, I felt a wave of sonic beauty permeate from the first minute, and the feeling got stronger as the song transcended. This is the mark of a song with replay value and one that is haunting; staying with you even after the final notes fade away.
Sometimes, you don’t really need to understand a song for it to have an impact on you. I feel like “Hey Showtime” harkens back to a time when I was not yet born, but I can still find this deep resonance that not enough words can express.
The storytelling knack of folk backed by such virtuosic guitar playing is how the foundation is laid, and when Uncle Harry starts singing, his delivery is imbued with a sense of poignancy, and he is still expressive, capturing the essence of the song backed by the harmoniously colorful backing female vocals.
The catchy hooks, the song structure that makes everything feel retro, and the mellow production are why this jam stands out in every way. It is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on the heart and soul of the listener as they enjoy the memorable verses and infectious delivery.
A track spanning the stylistic caliber of the roots sounds, “Hey Showtime” is the kind of jam that plays in a pub, and everyone resonates with it in their own way.
This is a soul-stir and one that really paints Blind Uncle Harry in an epic light as a songwriter and performer. The incredible penmanship backed by such stunning execution is why this jam is an easy recommendation to any music fan who loves folk-rock and its affiliate sounds.
