“Waiting” is a raucously enjoyable track from Bushwick Blooze Band, a blues-rock trio. Although the band often features vocals in their material, “Waiting” is an instrumental piece, focusing on guitar work, particularly inspired by Jeff Beck. The Brooklyn-based project projects a series of suave guitar lines and chugging bass. A particularly emotive guitar lead, howling with passion, emerges past the two-minute mark — clearly emphasized amidst a familiar bass line and restrained percussion. The guitar work throughout, and here specifically, conjures a sort of passionate plea — in this case, to keep listening. That’s a plea easily satisfied, as “Waiting’ induces replays with its evident musicianship and standout guitar work.
