No Gooder

108

For once, we’ll let others introduce Travellin’ Blue‘s new single. Here’s what American music journalist Geoff Wilbur has to say about ‘No Gooder’:

“The band gets deeper into the blues rock weeds with the chunky rhythm of “No Gooder”, a song with a grinding beat that is a little reminiscent of George Thorogood in places while diverting to an almost-dissonant, edgy, coolly uncomfortable musical direction elsewhere, resulting in a cohesive yet extremely original number, all the while leaning into the verbally awkward “you’re no gooder, no”, making it sound cool and oh, so very blue.”

His British colleague Nick Swansea puts it as follows:

“’No Gooder’ is a smouldering stomping yet slower groove based track, the music struts along with a crisp melodic and blues based feel à la Jeff Beck. The guitar playing from Luke Alexander is outstanding adding a beautiful atmosphere to this excellent song which cascades with a seventies rock texture. Vocally JB Biesmans has a strong voice, lots of groove with this dynamic bluester, its one of those tracks where the music pulls you in with its hypnotic charm.”
