“King of the Road” is the newest single from Boston artist Ray Ward, better known by his stage name of General Crush (honestly, great name and kind of angry I didn’t think of it first). He brings a lot to the table, with this little number being a very fun pop-forward road trip sounding track. He switches up a bit between tracks and keeps his sound fresh and shifting, but really gave me a similar feel to some of Mt. Joy or Sufjan Stevens’ more upbeat songs, and even a little bit of that Neil Young swagger from the days of yore (ask your parents).
With lots of light guitar and some horns and piano thrown in for good measure, you’ll find yourself bopping along to the beat within the first 30 seconds. This is definitely going on my on my leaf peeping list for the fall and if you don’t have one yet we’re approaching peek leaf peep season so you’d better hurry up!
Find “King of The Road” over on Spotify or Apple Music and also be sure to check out the equally excellent “Find New Friends” – you’ll thank me later.
