Nashville’s incendiary blues-rock duo Parker Barrow returns with a vengeance. They return with their latest single, “Make It,” and a stomp that packs attitude, spirit, and serious soul. Once known for their wild mash-up of Southern rock and blues, Parker Barrow’s latest single is a war cry and a bold statement, and they’re here to stay and won’t be slowed down.
The heat is unmistakable from the moment “Make It” kicks in. Megan Kane’s vocals light up the track as raw, raspy, and powerful, with every line delivered as it matters. Her performance is defiant, emotional, and powered by real-life grit bred only from long nights on the road and the pursuit of a dream with everything you might have.
Dylan Turner pounds the drums like a man possessed behind the thunder of Kane’s voice, reminding everyone why the foundation of this band is so solid. The rhythm section shuffles with that good Southern swagger, and the guitar licks, snarls, and howls like they’ve been raised on whiskey and roadside rebellion.
Its urgency gives “Make It” more than the feel of another rock track. And just like that, this became less about making music and more about surviving, thriving, and establishing a foothold in a world that doesn’t always have room for the wild-hearted. There’s an undercurrent of fight in the lyrics, a determination that feels personal and universal. It’s the sound of two people who put everything on the line for each other and their music and hit the jackpot.
The inspiration behind Parker Barrow, whose name twists in honor of the notorious criminal pair Bonnie and Clyde, his character embodies their namesake, rebellious, fearless, and a little unpredictable in the most delightful way. Their chemistry is palpable, their energy infectious, and with “Make It,” they’ve offered one of their strongest statements to date. Consider the bar set high if this is Parker Barrow’s revelatory reintroduction. “Make It” is a manifesto. And from the sound of it, they’re only warming up.
