One of Australia’s most soulful and engaging singer-songwriters is Derek Lee Goodreid. His music has an extremely distinctive and welcoming sound that effortlessly combines country, blues, and rockabilly, creating a very emotive and engaging experience for its listeners.
Derek has always been fascinated with music, first picking up the guitar at the young age of 18 and soon discovering an innate and genuine love for songwriting. He has since significantly improved on his musical abilities and has created his own unique voice and sound, which often maintains a theme of expressing his personal difficulties with PTSD, through his own brand of dark humour.
A renowned blues performer that goes by the name of Howlin’ Wolf served as the main inspiration for “Born to Raise Hell & Sing the Blues”, which Goodreid considers to be one of his greatest songwriting inspirations. Hector Ruano of Venezuela plays real blues harmonica on this tune, together with Stephen K Donnelly of Canada’s pounding rockabilly upright bass, and gritty blues-rock guitar. It is an extremely energetic song with a plethora of religious based lyrics, which will have you singing along and tapping your feet in no time.
Derek’s music is a new and exciting multi-genre cocktail, and a perfect fit for any music fanatic yearning for something fresh and intriguing. Whichever of his songs you listen to, it will keep you in a pleasant mood and singing along to his catchy vocals, long after the final note.
