Reed Turchi’s new single, “Walk With Me (Wild Coyote Sessions),” is a raw, rootsy offering that serves as a sort of time capsule of American music. Mixing gritty electric slide guitar with an unyielding underbelly of drums & bass, the track lands somewhere between the swampy voodoo grooves of Dr. John, the dark driving tension of Mississippi Fred McDowell, and the soulful fist of STAX.
“Walk With Me” exudes a lived-in energy, and it breathes. The electric slide guitar slashes through with a tone that is both cutting and soulful, drawing you into a soundscape that is earthy yet timeless. Every strum and riff is considered, grounding the track in tradition while moving it along.
This single captures the rough-hewn sensuality of live instruments in a mode that seems close and immediate. “Walk With Me” is about how rhythm can make you move, and about how soul reaches across time. Reed Turchi is a creator who combines spirit and craft to create worlds that fit his own template for sound.
A new single off his upcoming EP, “Walk With Me,” is a sign of a record rooted in tradition but not afraid to explore different fields as well. It’s a testament to why we keep returning to blues, soul, and roots music in the first place, and it’s timeless, and there is no distance between its message and our souls.
