Jackson Price and the Blues Rockets are a quartet from New Mexico, paying homage to rootsy blues and rock ‘n’ roll. “I want to pay homage to the roots of real music in a time where music played by real bands is dropping from the mainstream,” Price says. The band’s new album, I Used to Have Fun, features a variety of memorable tracks. Among them is “Staying High,” a confident rocker. Bluesy guitar twangs and suave vocals reflect a yearning for reprieve. “Went from 10 back to 1,” Price sings, “never read in a book it could be this much fun.” Stream the album via Spotify here.
