Single I Erja Lyytinen – Diamonds On The Road
ERJA LYYTINEN
NEW SINGLE – “DIAMONDS ON THE ROAD (LIVE)”
TAKEN FROM THE NEW LIVE ALBUM
“DIAMONDS ON THE ROAD – LIVE 2023”
RELEASED 6TH OCTOBER 2023
Storm alert! The third single from the upcoming ‘Diamonds on the Road – Live 2023’ album by Finnish slide guitar sorceress Erja Lyytinen, is the title track and the opener of the album.
The Diamonds On The Road title track live single starts off with an oppressive mood that tells the story of a poor woman. She’s left alone in a shabby home with a baby, while her man has snuck out to be with his rich lover. She plans revenge in her bitter mind and rushes out into the rising storm. The cinematic feel of the song unravels into a mean slide guitar solo and to the explosive double tempo by the band in this blues rock – slide chase.
“There’s a slide solo in the outro, where I´m using lots of delay, whammy and distortion to create this gloomy feel,” says Erja about the new live single, “I wanted to have a “Strat” sound on this solo, so I’m playing with my Fencer Custom Shop Stratocaster in open G – tuning.
Some may argue that music is born in the studio, but it comes to life and evolves when performed live on stage. With a live album, there is no safety net. You get one shot at capturing those perfect moments and preserving them forever.
