Folsom are a heavy blues rock band founded in Paris in 2013 and Old Pop’s Truck is their latest single, released on 16/03/2023. The song is dedicated the band’s friend Pop and his tireless work to keep his truck running. It is also a song about friendship, perseverance to achieve your goals and never giving up!

With a deep South vibe this is a great mix of Americana, hard rock and the blues, with a little bit of stoner rock thrown in for good measure.

The guitar riffs are heavy, yet melodic and are the driving force behind the whole song. The solos are clean, with a base in classic / southern rock, and are very reminiscent of the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and other 70’s southern rock bands.

The drumming is energetic and funky bass lines give the song a certain swagger that can usually be found  in country rock. The vocals on this track are awesome, strong, powerful with the grittiness of stoner rock and the subtle twang of country rock.

This is a very nostalgic track as it takes the listener on a trip back to the late 70’s and early 80’s, while also maintaining a modern twist to keep the sound fresh and up to date.

I really liked this song and I think it will appeal to fans of classic rock, country rock, southern rock and stoner rock alike. Awesome job, and I look forward to hearing more from these guys in the very near future.
