SATURDAY SONG TO OVERDRIVE TO: BIG SUGAR – “LET IT RIDE”
My introduction to Canadian blues rockers Big Sugar was this cover of the BTO classic “Let It Ride,” and I guess it was sorta my outro-duction too; it’s the only song of theirs I’ve ever heard. But damn, what a doozy it is! That guitar’s got some of the meatiest, thickest, most ballsy sounding tone in the history of ever, further underscored by the super-dry drum production underneath and the emphasized by the keyboard crunch on the intro riff. Is there to more to this band beyond this most excellent cover? Is there a particular album of theirs I should seek out?
Love, love, love this cover. Smoke ’em if ya got ’em.
