“Blue Collar” by Kevin McCoy Band is an American track emphasizing the American working class. “Here’s to the red, white, and blue-collar,” frontman Keven McCoy sings a melodic chorus over a groovy country arrangement. But “Blue Collar” is not wholly country music.

As America is a soup of cultures, “Blue Collar” is a well-made soup of genres, from Rock-n-Roll to R&B to a little Blues, and from the way the track bops along, a bit of Hip-hop. This blend is one reason that renders “Blue Collar” an entertaining track.

From its music video to the lyrics, its perspective on the working class and its accents on their specialness is why “Blue Collar” is an impressive track. From the onset, the opening guitar chugs hook the listener to be on the ride with the Kevin McCoy Band. The ride is excellent. The band rocks hard but without diluting Kevin McCoy. The production is tight and clear. And if the listener sticks to the end, you will be treated to the frontman’s vocal range. Visit https://kevinmccoyband.com/ for more about the Kevin McCoy Band.
