Jay Stott releases a grungy blues-rocker with "Mostly What We Ain't"

Americana singer-songwriter Jay Stott returns with a red-hot new single, "Mostly What We Ain't," a raw and defiant sneak peek at his upcoming album due in mid-2025. Earning his garage-rock stripes, Stott hands down a bluesy, grunge-touched anthem that growls like a breathless old grill through a long stretch of highway, loud, grizzled, and with plenty of soul.

The track is full of unrefined guitar riffs and an unyielding groove, conjuring the feel of a dusty dive bar and late-night road trips. His low, expressive vocals wound through like a storyteller who has seen it all, singing about the contradictions of life and what we aren't but maybe want to be.

This song has an undeniable sharpness, a combination of bluesy swagger and rock 'n' roll grit that ensures you stay engaged from the first bar to the last as Stott prepares for his album-form debuts. This is music written for the road, for migratory spirits who appreciate their songs as a bit dusty and distorted.
