After years of hiding in plain sight, Rusty Reid’s fourth album ‘The Unreasonables’ has finally surfaced, and it’s nothing short of a revelation. And the latest single from it, ‘Piece of the Action’, explodes out of the speakers like a shot of adrenaline straight to your chest. Reid strips away his signature indie-folk introspection for a thrilling dive into unfiltered guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and lyrics that live and breathe the messy, irresistible chaos of love and lust.
Rick Poss’ lead guitar slices through the mix with precision and grit, perfectly complementing Reid’s charismatic vocals. There’s a timeless quality here, yet it never feels stuck in the past. Every drum hit and strum is charged with immediacy, making the song feel alive, urgent, and impossible to ignore. It’s the kind of track that grabs you by the shoulders, shakes off the dust, and reminds you exactly why rock exists.
Lyrically, Reid balances playful honesty with seasoned perspective. He navigates the highs, lows, and ridiculous twists of romance with wit and heart, crafting lines that resonate without ever feeling preachy. Musically, the band walks the tightrope between grit and melody effortlessly, delivering a sound that’s as hook-heavy as it is visceral.
‘Piece of the Action’ smashes through, delivering a joyful reminder that rock and roll is best when it’s loud, messy, and alive. Rusty Reid proves that sometimes the songs you thought were lost forever are the ones that hit hardest.
