Derek Lee Goodreid – All Or Nothing (2023)
Bringing his rugged vocals to a funky guitar and hard-hitting drums with some blues slicked through the tune, singer-songwriter Derek Lee Goodreid brings the best of rockabilly to our ears. Nostalgic flairs sliver into our brains as a tribute to the vintage rockabilly sound; however, Goodreid brings a unique twist making it both retro and refreshingly contemporary. Critically acclaimed on a global scale, coverage from international blogs, playlists and videos ensure this soul-stirring music reaches audiences far beyond Goodreid’s Australian borders.
When we left the Australian guitarist and singer-songwriter, Goodreid blended blues, rock and country in the optimistic single ‘Underdog’. On the heels of ‘Underdog’, he brings us another powerful tune in ‘All Or Nothing’. Inspired by life events of both the light and dark sides of the coin, Goodreid’s music touches on human nature with a heartfelt intensity. ‘Underdog’ shone a light on “the resilience of the human spirit delivering a poignant message of hope and perseverance…” ‘All Or Nothing’ adds another layer to the empowering theme encouraging people to pursue their passion fearlessly.
“As the song’s infectious melody lingers in your mind, you will find yourself inspired to embrace life’s uncertainties and dive headfirst into the pursuit of your true passions.” – Derek Lee Goodreid on ‘All Or Nothing’
The poetic lyricism is powerful with a soul-stirring quality, but it is the melody that ties ‘All Or Nothing’ up in a shimmering sonic wrapper. Pounding drums act as a heartbeat lying beneath the melody as an infectious bass meets intoxicating twangy guitars. A groovy vibe oozes from ‘All Or Nothing’ making it easy to listen to as a country track, but a heavier rock sound tiptoes across the melody bringing a darker intensity. Goodreid’s gruff vocals weave into the sonic tapestry like a bright red thread adding vibrancy, vivacity and cheekiness to ‘All Or Nothing’.
