Vintage Trouble  Heavy Hymnal

There are times when a simple verbal description is limiting. Seeing, and hearing, is believing, both visuals and sonics provide truth in a way that plain words cannot. Vintage Trouble circumvent the issue in “Who I Am”, the opening track on their recent release, Heavy Hymnal. Rather than citing musical influence, Vintage Trouble pack all of the musical arsenal into the song, the groove and backbeat a Rock’n’Roll force while vocalist Ty Taylor spits out a lyrical flow that sings/speaks the verse and vocalizes a hook that will stick in the chorus of “Who I Am”. The band, rounded out with Nalle Colt (guitar), Rick Barrio Dill (bass), and Richard Danielson (drums), are Rock’n’Soul for a modern era. The template of 1960’s sounds on the mixing of rhythm with attitude is brought to 2023 by Vintage Trouble as the amplify both the beat and their brand.
 
The Los Angeles-based band honor sweet Soul music in both sound and politics for Heavy Hymnal. Vintage Trouble play out a then-versus-now scenario in “Repeating History” as a nagging rhythm persistently plows across “Feelin’ On”, slowing for a spotlight dance with “Not the One”, slapping out a beat for “Baby What You Do”, and fueling their Soul with salvation in “Holla!”. Fellow Los Angeleno, Jazz/Soul chanteuse Lady Blackbird, joins Vintage Trouble for “The Love That Once Lingered”. Layered thick bass notes, a train-track drumbeat, and the ever-present sparkle of guitar notes soundtrack the DIY guide for human improvement found in “Alright Alright” as Vintage Trouble hammer out a resume on a caffeinated groove in “Shinin’”, vowing ‘it ain’t over until I sat it’s done’.
