An interesting song from an interesting band. Bering Strait was a country music band from Russia who tried making it, but just released two or maybe three records before breaking up. I saw this video and immediately went out to buy their first record which I still have. This is a definite rarity. An instrumental song in modern country music. Way back when the genre first became popular in the 1920s and '30s, there were instrumental songs played by country bands, before the lyrics to the tune became the most important aspect. This track sounds a lot more like a rock and roll tune with some country elements thrown in like a fiddle and a resonator guitar. Will review the full album for Bering Strait in a future post. For now, enjoy this video.
