Single Review of Travellin’ Blue Kings: “It’s Better” (Naked)

Travellin’ Blue Kings are a Belgian blues band. It’s been almost three years since I reviewed the band’s single “Live Your Life.” Since then, the Kings relehttps://travellinbluekings.lnk.to/ItsBetterased a few more singles, a full-length album (Bending the Rules), and then some more singles, culminating in “It’s Better.”

“It’s Better” is a straightforward smoky blues-joint recalling number that chugs along with a classic, rowdy-but-midtempo blues rhythm. Expressive lead vocals are supported by a well-placed deep support vocal. Horns, guitar-picking, and keyboardwork highlight both a bridge and a nifty musical outro, leading to a hard-stop end to the song. If you’re a fan of the blues, you’ll dig the latest song from this talented group of bluesmen.

Looking Ahead

I don’t see any future shows on the “Events” tab of the band’s Facebook page, but that’ll be the page to watch for upcoming dates.
