Listen Up! Elijah Ocean – ‘Honky Tonkin’ Again’

Elijah Ocean

Welcome folks. Kick your boots up, get a cup of refreshment and lend an ear to some great new music.

Today we have a twang-drenched tune by Maine-raised/L.A. based Elijah Ocean. The song has our subject turning in early on a Saturday night as he’s drifting he frets that his lady is out good-timing and polishing buckles on a sawdust dancefloor at the local saloon. Probably dancing to songs just like this one. The song reminds me of a more zen version of Hank Thompson’s ‘The Wild Side Of Life,’ without the judgy angst.

Honky Tonkin’ Again’ will also be included on Elijah Ocean’s next record ‘Blue Jeans & Barstools’ which He’ll independently-release on May 1st.

Ocean’s first new single from ‘Blue Jeans & Barstools,’ “Behind the Times,” was featured on a recent episode of the CW dark Archie universe series Riverdale

Of the album, Ocean says: “When I’m off the road I gig at these dance halls outside of LA where people have been two-stepping and line-dancing since the 80s. This record was inspired by my experiences in the bars and especially the dance feels of the music we play.”
