Cherokee Redmex - Mountain to Climb
Rock, Alternative
United Kingdom
Overall Impression: With its delightful blend of crunchy guitar riffs, anthemic vocals, and infectiously memorable grooves, Cherokee Redmex's rip-rolling "Mountain To Climb" offers listeners a riff-fueled, attitude-steeped piece of country blues rock songwriting that's high on energy and generously chock full of memorable hooks throughout. With its strong performances, catchy singalong melodies, energy-fueled arrangement, and undeniable swagger, "Mountain To Climb" serves up a particularly rousing listening experience, one that not only captures the essence of the country rock genre down to a tee but also manages to embody the free-spirited nature of the style brilliantly.
Strongest Point(s): Having listened to a few other songs from Cherokee Redmex in order to effectively gauge the band's sense of character, it's apparent that there's an undeniably strong sense of chemistry coursing its way throughout the group and it most definitely shows in every one of their tunes, "Mountain To Climb" thankfully being no exception. When it comes to the colorful world of rock, energy plays an incredibly vital role and it's something that can be dearly felt in every crunchy riff, soaring vocal phrase, and lead break that the group lovingly presents to their listeners. But perhaps the most remarkable thing about "Mountain To Climb" is its anthemic quality. It's the kind of song that makes you want to throw your fist in the air and throw caution to the wind, whether you're driving down the highway with the windows rolled down or rocking out in your living room, it has that sense of rock'n'roll spirit that quite simply cannot be overlooked, resulting in an effective tune that many a listener can enjoy and get on board with.
Target Audience Appeal: "Mountain To Climb" is a solid country rocker and I can see it strongly resonating with lovers of the genre.
Artist target suggestions: Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Cadillac Three, The Outlaws, Foghat, 38 Special, Lynrd Skynrd, Molly Hatchet, Black Oak Arkansas, Ram Jam
