Sam Morrow previews his new album with strutting single 'Rosarita'
Gettin’ By on Gettin’ DownMorrow penned “Rosarita” with fellow Californianand it makes use of a strutting drum groove, interlocking rhythmic guitar lines, and dive-bombing, wah-wah slide guitar leads to set the stage for Morrow’s gritty vocals. He sings of a favorite source of pleasure, which turns out to also be a source of pain.
“I want to make music like that — funky, layered rock where it’s not just the songwriting that’s important, but the presentation, too,” Morrow says, citing three inspirations: David Bowie, Robert Palmer, and Little Feat’s Lowell George. “This song is a great example of that. It has Bowie, Palmer and George, and again me talking about the things that weigh me down but keep me coming back.”
Working with drum grooves from percussionist Matt Tecu, Morrow started writing and arranging his new songs around the beats with the help of co-producer Eric Corne. They recordedat the Los Angeles-area studio owned by the Doors’ Robby Krieger, trying out new sounds and experimenting with how far they could take each number.,” Morrow says. “Getting to play with different musicians, different ensembles, in different places really informed where I wanted this new record to go.
