Kyle Kimbrell – “Holy Bombs”
Americana Highways brings you this premiere of Kyle Kimbrell’s song “Holy Bombs” from his forthcoming album Easy Truths, which is due to be available on April 5 via Cornelius Chapel Records. Easy Truths was produced by Brad Lyons and was recorded at Boutwell Studios in Homewood, Alabama.
“Holy Bombs” is Kyle Kimbrell on acoustic guitar and vocals; Brad Lions on electric guitar, bass, and percussion; and Liz Vann on harmonies.
With a title like “Holy Bombs,” your curiosity is automatically piqued. Opening with a description of the childhood game with your hands clasped and “open your hands and there’s all the people” catches a universal experience. And then grooving over a bluesy rhythm and a respectable roots rock arrangement, this song is a hard look into sinners and the harmful ideas that breed in religion at the lowest level. “I believe it’s just a choice you make … they’re one and the same, Krishna and Buddha, just man made names, but we’re killing each other at an alarming rate, sometimes over a parking space.”
We tried some new things in the studio on this one. Came up with a sorta satirical anthem. – Kyle Kimbrell
