Rocky Michaels is known for giving off such a lush honesty and warmth with a lot of his music. He drops songs that make you feel or think, which is a beautiful thing because not enough artists out there do it these days.
If you're not really familiar with some of his stuff, then let us be among the first to introduce you to a new single that just came out today called "The Road That Leads Me Home".
This track is no exception to the Rocky Michaels rule of delivering that colorful and warm set of truths. This time, he does so in an Americana and country style, complete with lush guitar work, heartfelt and passionate vocals, and a memorable hook and chorus that sticks with you for quite a while after the song has ended.
The track features acoustic and electric guitars and hits this Southern Soul, which is a welcoming direction for his music.
The artist definitely didn't hold back in terms of letting some of those classic and vintage influences shine through, and his presence on the single is stellar.
Again, this is a powerful song, but Rocky's material usually does have that impactful and powerful approach as he sings about things that matter to him.
This is important because not enough artists out there do that. Rocky's an artist who lets it all out when he's writing a song, and he's not afraid to release a track without walls built around it.
When Rocky releases a song, it's like he's doing it for others to understand, but it's really for himself.
There are times he sends a powerful message out there with his music, and that's also a very important aspect of how Rocky expresses himself artistically, but this track is such a personal one from his own perspective, and you pick up on a lot of his inner character this way.
The track also features organs that add a bit of a classic rock vibe in its underbelly, but it's based in folk and Americana, which come through perfectly here for the aesthetic and sentiment of the song itself.
In addition to the track is a video he put together that is just as heartwarming as the song itself.
Throughout this video, there are clips of Rocky's parents, as the song itself was inspired by the project he took on to digitize old 8mm reels, and as he watched the footage while he did this, it inspired him to write about his journey as a person and who he has become.
The entire sentiment of this is so relatable, and I think that it speaks volumes for the artist in terms of being inspired by something impactful to him.
Rocky draws inspiration from genuine and authentic places constantly, and this is a part of why his music itself is as impactful as his Inspirations are.
This was another beautiful song from Rocky Michaels. If you're just getting into him with this track, I suggest you listen to some of his previous releases as well because a lot of them have just as much momentum, meaning, depth, and warmth.
Enjoy this and remember where you heard it first.
