Rocky Votolato is back after 7 years of silence. And it was a right choice! His new single “Little Black Diamond” is a warm, sentimental earworm that will stay with you for a long time. This song is from his new album titled Wild Roots (September 9th) which will tell intimate stories of the people he loves the most through each of the songs on this new album.
Rocky displays impeccable songcraft. Lyrically, “Little Black Diamond” gives us a poetic ride and telling a story that is full of happy memories. Well assembled and arranged, with Rocky’s heartfelt yet sad vocals, the song evokes a range of emotions, including melancholy, yet joyfulness. The band is flawless on this newest album and it has a sound that reminds me of the acoustic era of the ’70s bands, especially Bread.
