Most albums have a few strong singles and a whole lot of filler. So it’s impressive that Mermaid Avenue are still delivering the goods with “Prisoner,” the sixth (yes, sixth!) single from their soon-to-be-released album Sugartown.
This track has got everything you want to hear. Incredible multipart harmonies, a soaring slide, killer guitar solos, incredible lyrics about the human condition. It’s all here, and it’s glorious.
Mermaid Avenue have definitely left us waiting a long time for Sugartown, but they should stop teasing us soon. I hear it’s dropping sometime early this year.
