To keep us happy until his next studio album arrives, Richard Turgeon has issued a single, “Car Crash,” which is currently available as a digital download.
The San Francisco-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer’s penchant for rootsy power pop reverberates to maximum effects on the instantly catchy song.
Charged with crunchy guitars, a maddeningly hooky chorus, stabbing drum fills and waves of pulsating electricity, “Car Crash” confesses to caring for someone whose life is spiraling out of control and having to decide whether or not to stick by this person. Complemented by Turgeon’s brawny vocals projecting a splash of a southern accent and a throbbing groove, the track romps and rolls with continuous flare.
Had Richard Turgeon been cruising the circuit a few decades ago, he would no doubt be sharing radio space with Tom Petty and John Mellencamp – a pair of legends whose influence freely drives his material. Classic pop rock with a contemporary angle, “Car Crash” is guaranteed to be added to oodles of playlists and make listeners eager to hear more music from Richard Turgeon.
