When Rivers Meet - Rhythm Rust & Static (2026)

Best tracks: The Tide Is Turning / My Time Is Done

There's such a style as white blues, and there's nothing racist about it. WRM is a modern representative of atmospheric white blues, based on traditional rhythms. We hear two vocalists, and the female voice is preferable here, although the male adds variety without dominating. I'll note that the traditional rhythms are good, but I would have liked more interesting drum parts. The rhythms work, but not always. This music doesn't surprise in any way, incorporating gospel and rock into the overall experience, but it makes you want to twitch your feet and experience emotions. And that's already good.
