Hailing from Medicine Lake, Montana, singer/songwriter Henry Black impresses with new track “YGS.” A rousing vocal presence adeptly transitions between suave beginnings and more soaring ambitions, kick-started by the rhythm section’s entry just before the 50-second mark. From here, the track grips and never lets go. Specifically, the pulsing excitement around 01:30 signals a series of exciting melodic and stylistic twists — alternating between rollicking rock and more understated, saloon-friendly jaunts. “YGS” is an excellent piece of songwriting and showing of stylistic versatility from the impressive Henry Black.
