Week 6
This week I had to go with the Elvis song. Hearing any of his work is just so special to me, he's one of those artists that was just way ahead of his peers. The song is called "Sound Dog" and Elvis puts his whole soul into the song. His voice is just so energetic and the beat is super catchy; a beautiful combination for a hit song. The song is about some dude whose looking for a girl, apparently written by not Elvis, but Willie Thornton instead. Either way the song has a cool swing/ vibe and I can see why so many loved Elvis. His appeal was more than just his music, his showman personality really matches the vibe of his music.
I like how the guitar is live sounding, it's refreshing to hear live recorded music with all the modern computerized sounds we listen to today. Nothing wrong with either, the vibes are just different! I also like the timbre of everything together. The instruments, humming, clapping, and singing were all meshing so well sonically. I feel like I could walk into any old school burger joint and this song would be playing. I like how the song compares a man that can't find a women into a hound dog that sucks at hunting. It makes it so it's like a turn up song that also has a sad twist to it. Overall the song is super groovy and I love listening to Elvis. He definitely is a legend and won't be forgotten any time soon.
