New Single: Otis - Last Fool In Line

Artiest/Band: Otis Single: Last Fool In Line Release 2024 Rock n’ rollers OTIS hailing from the genre blending pot of Kentucky USA are pleased to release their new groove laden single and video ‘Last Fool In The Line’ being the first original music from the band for 7 years.  Boone Froggett (frontman/guitarist) smiles about the story, “It tells the tale of a hard luck guy that never seems to learn his lesson. I think we all know someone like this or have even been in his shoes a time or two!

 Sometimes the real life stories we hear in the bar or the smoking section of a venue can really be more fantastic than fiction.” The accompanying striking video, courtesy of Very Metal Art, depicts the anti-hero in a myriad of precarious situations encountering nefarious characters and femme fatales with the allure of a vintage 50’s pulp graphic crime novel

While it would be easy to categorise the bands sound as southern rock, their musical palette is clearly much broader, alongside Boone, John Seeley (bass), Alex Wells (guitar), and Dale Myers (drums), the tight-knit guys stay connected to their homegrown roots having been around traditional instruments from a young age and brought up on deep-diving record collections. “Musically this song is a love letter to the things we loved about the late 60’s era. It's kind of like the Southern Soul of Stax and Atlantic Records meets the English rock of Humble Pie and The Faces.”

With a reputation for incendiary crowd engaging shows and having recently played world famous venues in Allman Brothers Big House Macon Georgia and The Iridium New York Boone goes on, “It’d been a live staple for us since we reemerged back on the touring scene in 2023 and after taking it to the crowd over and over they finally helped us get the recipe down and we felt the time was right.” Recorded in a live full band take at The Rock House in Franklin Tennessee, renowned Grammy Award winning musician Kevin McKendree (Brian Setzer, George Thorogood) produced and mastering duties came courtesy of Ty Tabor of the acclaimed US rock band Kings X.

Previously, a chance meeting with Billy F Gibbons led to the legend listening and becoming a fan of the band - even handing their albums off to the likes of Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck and previous US/UK tours have included sharing bills with household names in ZZ Top, The Kentucky Headhunters, Jackyl and Blackberry Smoke. With this new original release and the new line-up firmly established, expect a heap more to come encompassing melodic howling vocals of stories to tell, slick intertwining guitars and soulful grooves…that’s OTIS.
