Joe Boris Gives a Blast From the Past With "Hoochie Coochie Coo"

They say music doesn’t sound as good as it used to. Joe Boris proves that style is not dead with his new single, “Hoochie Coochie Coo.”

The talented guitarist and songwriter has been part of the USA’s East Coast music scene since the early 1990’s. Performing alongside other NY/NJ musicians like Clarence Clemons (Bruce Springsteen) , Michael Falzarano (Hot Tuna), Garth Hudson (the Band) and Buddy Cage (New Riders of the Purple Sage). Joe Boris brings a classic blues guitar sound meshed with psychedelic touches that explains why he has been in demand for all these years. His band One-Eyed Jack became one of East Coast‘s premier jam bands. The strength of his songwriting and live performances has enabled him to play on the same bill with such legendary acts as Bob Weir & Ratdog, Warren Haynes, Mickey Hart, Hot Tuna, and MOE.

The blues sound of new single “Hoochie Coochie Coo” works perfectly. The guitars and drums all come together to create an atmosphere reminiscent of old blues songs that I’d hear in the car every now and then. The guitar licks are especially prominent, adding a certain flair that is extremely catchy. The bridge also features many interesting sounds from different instruments that create a strange feel that somehow fits perfectly with the vibe of the song.

The lyrics are also very genuine. A story is told throughout every sound and word. The singer was hurt because he refused to listen to the warnings. In that way, the song becomes a warning for the audience through a cautionary tale, making the song more than just a tune to play when you need music in the background, but an actual story of love, pain, and hindsight. That is what makes this song stand out.

In my humble opinion, the music of the past had a certain sound that is extremely hard to replicate. However, Joe Boris is able to not just replicate it, but to make it his own in a catchy song that will stick with you. With a step in the past, it’s exciting to see where Boris goes in the future.
