About "Playin' for Keeps (Live at the Viper Room)" by Jared James Nichols
Recorded live at the Viper Room, this cut crackles with road-worn electricity. Jared James Nichols wrings blues-rock grit from every riff, the room's sweat and smoke palpable. Playing for keeps means no second takes—the tension is between polished revivalism and raw, spontaneous combustion.
