NORMAN COLLINS
To introduce his new album, Front Porch Philosopher, Norman Collins offers “I Wanna Rule Somebody,” a pure piece of hard-driving, rock guitar and messaging in which the subject is the betrayal of belief and trust.
The album and the single will be released on May 22.
Guitar and a steady, hard fast drum begin, but not just to philosophy’s beat. In this song, we get rock metaphysics. After the rest of the band crashes in, setting the rhythm and harmony of the argument, Norman introduces the subject:
Join my church, I can
Save your life
Take my hand, and I might
Want your wife
The song, and the album, are full of Norman’s brand of progressive Americana. It is a fusion of a lot of different kinds of music —but mainly rock, blues, soul and country — and delivered hot and sweet.
“I Wanna to Rule Somebody” is rock with what he describes as something like “Led Zeppelin goes country punk.”
