Given the imagery set up by the title, what follows is much more calm and composed than expected. Rather than the feline Sturm and Drang (yes, I’ve travelled) that you might expect, we are greeted with a fantastic slice of folk-rock, alt-country, Americana…something in that ballpark, at least.
With the Rhythm of a Catfight sounds like one of those songs you have been listening to all your life, a classic that has sunk so far into public consciousness that everyone knows it, even if they don’t know it. But it isn’t. It’s new, even though it might have you searching the track listing of old James Taylor or David Gray albums to work out where you have heard it before.
That’s how future classics work, and this is a song that could easily end up with such a label. Only time will tell, but I’m willing to put money on it.
