New Music Alert! Eli Howard & the Greater Good: “Wildfire”

February 5, 2022 — Leave a comment

I am loving what I’ve heard referred to as vintage rock. You know, a new take on an old sound, combining the core elements of both classic and Southern rock while adding touches of everything from the blues to country to unmistakable nods to the British Invasion. And Eli Howard & the Greater Good is among those who are tilting their hats to the past while remaining steadfastly in the present.

Just last night, I discovered Eli Howard & the Greater Good and the brand new single “Wildfire.” One listen had me hooked and I immediately sent it to my brother and played it for my mom.

From the catchy, almost hymn-like opening vocalization and steady beat (sure to be a crowd pleaser), to a voice and singing style reminiscent of Gregg Allman and Doug Gray, to the more rock-oriented instrumentation during the verses, “Wildfire” is an ode to all that is great about the blending of genres. I particularly enjoyed the change about two-thirds of the way in, a psychedelic breakdown that preceded a back-and-forth between a guitar and a Hammond B3.

Do yourself a favor and check out “Wildfire,” now available on all streaming services. The track is the second single from Eli Howard & the Greater Good’s upcoming debut album End of the Line, set to be released February 25, 2022.
