The latest single from Russ McRee lies upon my desktop, contained within this file is a short form acoustic guitar narrative with a rhythmic percussion, which when combined gives us a song called Spirited Away, and once manifested becomes one of the most addictive compositions of its type I have heard this summer.

The slow but ever onward musical narrative moves us across the bridge of our dreams, and into an alternate reality where the energies of the day have started winding down, and the world has moved on.

The style of performance on guitar here is simply compelling; I have listened to it some 6 times in a row now and I still find clever little nuances hidden within, some that remind me of The Eagles and segments once found within the realm of the Bob Segar Silver Bullet Band, with its charming acoustic reverie and its rustic mid-western charm.

For me this is a solid gold hit, a song that you will take you to the dusty highways and plains, or perhaps down to the crossroads, which and whatever you choose, this explorative guitar with its beautifully played notes and progressive structures will always be with you, and as such I must predict a hit for Spirited Away by Russ McRee, and award it the most addictive guitar based piece of 2024.
