Song Review: Wolf! feat. Scott Metzger - “Ratso”
The spirit of Link Wray lives in Wolf!
The instrumental trio - the exclamation point is part of its name - features guitarist Scott Metzger with bassist Jon Shaw and drummer Taylor Floreth. “Ratso,” the lead single from their forthcoming (Oct. 28) Adult Entertainment EP, is like surf-rocking into a tie-dyed, Hendrixian wave of color.
“It’s about three dudes in a room making music in real time that just straight up feels good; you get it the first time you hear it,” Metzger, who also plays with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, said of Wolf!
“I think we all need a little of that these days.”
He may be right. At just 2:26, “Ratso” leaves the listener hungry for more.
