Local track of the week: Feb. 12

Neil Akers, “For Lovin’ Me”


Quantcast

While I can’t claim it as a longtime love, this track by the Conway-based singer-songwriter at least deserves to be this week’s current crush.

The CCU grad’s heartfelt lyrics serve as a great thank you to the lover who puts up with all the things that come with caring for the song’s rock-loving drifter protagonist, while the guitars and vocals carry a distinctly old-school vibe that reminds me of an old Jimi Hendrix song.

Check out this and about half a dozen other Americana-tinged offerings by Akers at myspace.com/neilakers or catch some video of Akers jamming at youtube.com/neilakersguitar.
