American Rock n' A Roller Alex Goss & the dirty mask are back with a one-two punch in the appropriately titled "Weak in the Knees." This tune perfectly melds the golden years of 50s/60s rock n' roll with the mighty modern melodies we have come to love. Cut at Nashville's prestigious Sound Emporium Studios and produced by Dean Miller (son of the late country music icon Roger Miller), this song is a memory-filled joyride with a new, futuristic energy. "Weak in the Knees" grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go. The song has its roots firmly planted in the grizzled, raw energy classic rock of old but has a bit of blues and country-plucked influence.
Alex Goss, as is his signature, paints an engaging and authentic piece of literature while delivering a powerful coyote act. The song seamlessly blends vintage and contemporary sounds. Goss's singing is gorgeous and heartfelt, and the lyrics simultaneously wrap around you with the warmth of recollections but feel as relevant as can be in today's music landscape. Goss's skilled band, the Dirty Mask, provides the perfect amount of swagger and soul, pumping up the song with ragged guitar and a rhythm section that's disciplined but free.
There is no denying the brilliant quality of the production behind "Weak in the Knees." It was recorded at the Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, which drips with musical history. Dean Miller's magic behind the board delivers a release that equally boasts the grit of rock n' roll with a radio-friendly shine. The result is a song that could as easily find its place on a classic rock playlist as it could radio play on modern rock stations, easily spanning generations of rock fans. "Weak in the Knees" is an audacious declaration by Alex Goss & the dirty mask that the spirit of rock n' roll is alive and well. This song is unforgettable in country, blues, or classic rock.
