Drawing us in with an intricate guitar soundscape, and a rolling drum crescendo, leading us into a blues-rock hybrid solo, Deuce Denninger opens In The Nights with philosophical prose as he takes us on a thought-provoking and relatable journey with timeless nuance.
We immediately connect with the nocturnal message that the opus exudes, and the luscious accompanying vocal harmonies. The composition showcases nothing short of instrumental mastery, and the guitar performances are simply transcendental.
We learn that In The Nights is the first released single from Deuce’s upcoming full-length album Rock & Roll, Country Women, and Blues. The star cites influences including ZZ Top, The Black Crowes, and Johnny Winter to name a few, although it is clear that Deuce Denninger is manifesting a universe of his own.
In The Nights was recorded at Hopi Lane Productions in Perryville by the talented creator himself, with mixing and mastering by Tom Roed. Shannon Meyer features on lead guitar, with Ken E Keller on bass, whilst Tom Roed performs keys, and Jimmy Brotherton slays on the drums. The captivating background vocals are courtesy of Kara Smollen and Joyce Baker Statler!
Overall, In The Nights is a dynamic adventure, which feels transportive, reminding us of why so many of us connect deeply with the moody period from dusk ’til dawn. There is no doubt that the piece is suitable for various synch deals, and we can imagine it as the soundtrack for a TV series like True Blood.
We have added In The Nights to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Deuce Denninger‘s wider discography, and anticipate the upcoming release of his album, Rock & Roll, Country Women, and Blues!
