It’s Deeps’ style that might initially ingratiate him with an
audience but Deeps has found his own voice nestled
somewhere betwixt Gram Parsons, Van Morrison and John
Mellencamp on a collection of songs that exudes some
heart and soul as well as style.
Deeps is writing deeply personal folk songs basically
retelling a lot of the events of his time in Hamilton.
Musically, the single's video has a pop rock vibe like an
Arkells single with a grittier vocal but other tracks mine
more of an Americana vibe conjuring up Van Morrison on
“Empty Handed” but his style can veer more into country
folk rock “When Push Comes To Shove” to roots rock mined
from The Band “Come On Back”, funkier soul with “Thunder
and Rain” or even country balladeering in a Tom Waits vibe
like the album closer “Fumes and Flames”.
