It’s time to get Down and Dirty...
The Holy Rollercoasters’ new single Down and Dirty is the first taste of their final album ‘This Is The Last Will and Testament Of’.
In a mix of down-home The Band and Ike and Tina Turner it is straight from that late 60s/early 70s melding of rock n roll, soul and funk in a sound and lyric that befits its title. Written in Jimi’s late 20s, he discarded it until he could more perfectly work it out with the more recent help of guitarist Chris Bancroft and regular HRC co-composer Andrew Garton.
It’s a celebration of the joys of spontaneity and setting aside the restrictions we place upon ourselves in the pursuit of love. And about getting down and also dirty and wearing leather jackets.
This last album of The Holy Rollercoasters was recorded live in the studio and the Down and Dirty film clip (due for release next week) is an edit of two cameras from three takes of the song. None of the takes were at the same tempo and in an effort to film and also to be non-intrusive, it makes for a rough and ready, perhaps down and dirty, edit of the track.
