Swedish blues rock artist Linn Holmstedt and blues shred legend Eric Gales unleash their savage, soul-ripping rendition of the classic "Whipping Post," A raw, visceral energy bubbles up from Holmstedt's throat, which sounds like heartbreak drenched with wildfire. Her voice, deep and flecked with conviction, is not singing the lyrics; it's breathing them. She wears the ache of the original Allman Brothers track like it's woven into her bones, but she nonetheless renders the agony entirely her own.
Eric Gales plays guitar, and the single marks a collision between two musical forces in the prime of their power. Gales doesn't just play, and he doesn't just make pies: He testifies. His solos are blistering and spiritual, conjuring storms of emotion over Holmstedt's dynamic vocal canvas. These two artists have a chemistry that crackles, as though they've been swapping licks and stories on stage for years.
There's something utterly refreshing about hearing a Swedish artist breathe fresh life into a cornerstone of Southern rock. Linn Holmstedt does not imitate; she channels it. An Angeleno, though steeped in a love of the deepest traditions of American blues and rock, Holmstedt, , bridges worlds here. "Whipping Post" becomes not just a cover but a powerful handshake. A Physique song is no throwback; instead, it serves as a reintroduction of not just the music or the genre but also Linn Holmstedt. Fans of soulful powerhouse vocals, vintage blues with a modern twist, and guitar solos that melt your face best.
