Eric Silverman – “Ride On”

Another stunner off of the upcoming Eric Silverman LP lands this week. The previous singles have skewed towards the prog and psych end of Silverman’s spectrum, but “Ride On” swerves square into the Americana wheelhouse. With a galloping lope, fiddle gathering like dark clouds, and twilight ambience, the song is a lonesome stretch of highway riding out a heartsick head swim. It’s as twang laden as Silverman gets, and he wears his county cadence well, leaning into layered harmonies before a solo that burns hotter than halogens, stripping away the encroaching darkness. The new album, Stay In It, is out May 12th from Curation Records.
