I have previously reviewed music by Clay Joule, and I am always eager to hear more so when the opportunity to review the latest single, Drifters, came up I jumped at the chance.

Based in Secaucus, New Jersey, Clay Joule is a singer-songwriter who makes uplifting soft rock music and he writes songs about themes that are important in everyday life.

Drifters is his latest single released on 02/04/2023 and features the beautiful voice of Elisa Mammoliti,

Musically, this track is quite bluesy with some awesome rhythm and blues guitar work going on and this gives the track a certain swagger. The drumming is very laid-back, and the basslines are strong and keep the track together.

It’s the vocals that really makes this track stand out. The male vocals are, once again, soft, and gentle, with that little bit of blues grittiness to give the track an edginess to it. But combining the male lead with the beautiful yet haunting voice of Elisa really creates a contrast between the two leads. The two voices harmonise well together and compliment each other perfectly, creating a sound that would fit perfectly into a blues bar somewhere. I have visions of a dimly lit club, lots of smoke and the two singers as silhouettes on the stage! But hey, that’s just my interpretation of the track.

This is another great track from this talented musician and Elisa, and of the three I have now reviewed, I think this one has to be my favourite. Absolutely fantastic track and I think all blues, classic rock and soft rock fans will love it!
