Music: Guita Rei
Her song "Heaven" is a fresh sound with a catchy groove, but as the late great Billy Mays said "Wait, there's MORE!"
I will quote from the first comment in the thread on this video:
My favorite thing on YouTube is going through like twenty algorithm turds and then you land on something like this and it blows you away.
Thank you nerdferguson4821, that is my life lately.
I bring you something that just floored me. The video is stylistically clean, crisp, and the playing is brisk, tight, and intricate. The beat is catchy, the backing track is a deep grove with more than a twinge of funk.
Together, this is an amazing song, an amazing video, showcasing the incredible chops that Rei dishes out like the mad serving ladle of a manic high school cafeteria lunch lady with a Pall Mall hanging from her lips with a hairnet that isn’t quite cutting it.
In case you think this is a one off, here’s Rei in a song she calls Guitaraholic:
Fuck yeah, hook that shit to my veins.
And what’s this, a third video? Sweaty, please stop this madness…1
Sorry I can’t, as I was typing this, YT offered this live “duel”, three drummers, joined by Rei, this time, she’s playing an acoustic guitar, with a decidedly western groove. Amazing stuff!
Now, I need to return to the slop that my algorithm has been trained to serve up.
Narrator: Sweaty did not stop the madness …
Heaven will be on my workout playlist. Very nice-love your finds. Never stop the madness. 👏👏👏
Thanks! I was looking for something new this morning. I knew someone in my substack feed reviewed music but had no idea where to start. Then it hit me! I saved an article! The yacht rock one. Guita Rei is great. I swear the drummer in red looks familiar but not enough caffeine yet to figure that out. Now on to your other reviews.
