IAC GEMS #11 Knocked Over by STEVE IANNETTI
Knocked Over by Steve Iannetti is such a beautiful tune..Was a toss up between this and the equally great Danger To Myself from the songs of his i've heard..
In the end decided on Knocked Over tho which is like some long lost Country gem from a great Road Movie in the 60s/70s/80s/90s/2000s Its timeless so any decade would work....The epic cinematic sweep of it reminds me a little in vibe of the excellent Eagles track "Take It To The Limit ".
In truth tho, this is closer to the bone and far more real n raw emotionally..Simultaneously heartbreaking and strangely joyful at the same time,its tugging on your heartstrings whilst you knock back yet another JD on the rocks in a mix of drunken reverie n pain..
I met this beautiful woman at a party in the early hours a few months ago and she played/introduced me to the first Ryan Adams album- and the best songs on there had a beauty thru loss that made me want to cry - just like this song does..
"It's like I'm driving in the dark, down a long freeway.
And I see you in a car Going the other way "
This is classic Americana/Country of the very highest quality..
I had a listen recently to a few modern country pop songs and none of them were even remotely in the same league as this qualatively..
The fact that they're making millions, whilst a song like this is totally unknown can only make me conclude unfortunately that the world is populated by idiots..

Nice work on your lengthy review Steve
yes Iannetti is one of my all time favs. he just has the most hip happening sound, but right from the heart, nothing contrived, just great polish to his songs, he is a well seasoned performer / musicians/ songcrafter puts out some kicking groove
You are making this place a better place to be Steve with your enthusiasm and willingness to provide such insight and terrific evaluation of artists you have chosen to write about
well done

Excellent choice! This song just has something special. I can't say exactly what that is but for some reason I just like it. I'm not really big on country but this is the kind that I do like. Thanks for posting it. Much Respect!

Thanx for the kind words Bryon - the pleasures all mine...Spending time engaged fully with something that i love is very enjoyable f'sure..:)
Stoneman..Yeh i'm with you..Country definitely isn't really my thing either- but i love songs with such an obvious heartfelt intuitive emotional push like this one..I can't deny them whatever the genre..
