 Acclaimed New Orleans songwriter, guitarist, and roots music torchbearer Chris Vincent returns with a powerful new single, “Big Trucks Win,” out November 3rd on all streaming platforms. A companion piece to his 2025 critically-acclaimed album, Good Crook, the track continues Vincent’s bold redefinition of blues music by paring the sonic palette to its raw essentials: slide guitar and drums, recorded live with no autotune, overdubs, or studio tricks—just visceral, highly improvisational playing and razor-sharp songwriting that are the celebrated hallmarks of Vincent Listen to “Big Trucks Win” Here Accompanying Vincent is New Orleans living legend Johnny Vidacovich, whose drumming career has intersected with giants like Dr. John, Professor Longhair, James Booker, Irma Thomas, and countless others. The result is a deeply human recording, with Vincent—a “gifted, propulsive, dramatic player… a master of the slide guitar” (Chicago Blues Report / Offbeat Magazine)--in the driver’s seat, and Vidacovich delivering what can only be described as a masterclass in New Orleans rhythm. Lyrically, “Big Trucks Win” is an unflinching ode to the inevitable acceptance of loss, steering far clear of the recycled clichés that plague much of modern blues. Yes, it's certainly Blues—but with Vincent at the wheel and Vidacovich behind the kit, the song transcends genre boundaries, expanding what contemporary blues and roots music can be. With this release, Chris Vincent further cements his reputation as “one of the most important voices in Roots, Blues, and Americana music today.” (Blues.GR) Website:
