Pete Miller’s “Hard to Find” is a subdued yet deeply emotive track that showcases the singer-songwriter’s talent and raw vocal power. The stripped-down, acoustic performance, recorded live in the studio, allows Miller’s vocals and lyrics to take centre stage.
The song’s folk and americana influences, reminiscent of Johnny Cash and Townes Van Zandt, give it a timeless and classic feel. There’s something similar in Miller’s voice as well, carrying with him the same tenor and expressiveness that allows him to exude the same pain and hurt in his words. With just a guitar and a stirring vocal performance, you’re drawn into this story
The powerful and rousing vocal performance, combined with deeply soulful lyrics, make “Hard to Find” stand for what folk and Americana really stand for. Its touching in the way the genre is meant to be, a piercing message that’s carried just by a simple and heartfelt performance.
