Easy-going, yet gritty and ever so real, Derek Lee Goodreid’s powerful and emphatic piece of blues rock, ‘Breakthru Hardtimes’ is a testament to perseverance and moving past the off days. Itself inspired by a series of setbacks, the entire song is able to evoke feelings of hardship and obstacles but simultaneously carrying with it an underlying hope that every setback is a setup for a comeback. Whatever it may be, a relationship problem, a career problem, or even health issues, Derek Lee’s powerful vocals and scintillating electric guitar have you inspired that you’re going to get out of this rut because the other side is just around the corner.
Gritty, yet ever so tender blues rock. Writing this now as I feel myself sinking into another battle with the seemingly endless COVID situation, Breakthru Hardtimes has me inspired that better days are to come.
