Roots-rock rambler Liam St. John has shared his hell-raising new single ‘Trouble’. The track is the latest release from his debut studio album Man Of The North due out September 5th through Big Loud Rock. A swampy, grungy number, ‘Trouble’ finds St. John amidst a rock-tinged bender as he ties one on and attempts to exercise his demons.
“They say it’s darkest before the dawn, and trouble is the point in the album and in my life where I reached my darkest days,” said St. John. “They never tell you how dark it is down at rock bottom.”
‘Trouble’ follows the release of the album’s gritty title track ‘Man Of The North’, which kickstarts with a fiddle line straight out of the 1890s before ramshackle percussion, slippery slide guitar, and St. John’s powerful voice give the song a swaggering edge. Wide Open Country called it “a powerful song that I can’t get enough of.”
