Shirley Lee- The Smack of the Pavement in Your Face

Country music is normally written by people with straw in their mouths living in the world of The Dukes of Hazards and My Name is Earl. Thankfully Shirley Lee is none of these things- mainly because he is from London.
The song is has real jiggle jangle feel to it with bouncing guitar rifts and playful bass line. Coming in at just over 3 minutes, it has all the elements of great modern take on country music. The lyrics are uplifting, witty and heartfelt, making the record a joy to listen to.
