When you press play and “Golden Hour” by J Terrell starts, you travel through time and land in the 70s, and I mean this as praise. This era was easily the heyday for country music, time before the genre was completely taken over by Stetson hats and glitter … when Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Don Williams and the likes ruled the game.
“Golden Hour” has great vocals and great harmonies, the melody is hot. I also love the chord structure, the minor chords that have been scattered around the more obvious parts. The intro is great, the simple electric guitar fills are spot on. There’s a lot to love here especially if you are a country fan. It’s quite brilliant.
