The Last Conspirators
New Video Single
“Somewhere Tonight in America” is the third single and video from the Last Conspirators' 50-Track anthology “History: 2006-2016.” A fitting choice in light of America’s 250th birthday. Often known for their rebel-stance and biting social commentary, “Somewhere Tonight in America” is an uplifting blues-rocker and considered by some to be one of the crowning achievements in songwriter Tim Livingston’s vast catalog. At the very least the song is one of his most immediate. Originally released on the album “A Celebration of Fury” (2013), the song now has been reissued with this brand-new video.
Livingston reflects: “This one I wrote and kicked it around a bit, mostly at rehearsals, with the original lineup of the band, but it was not until we went into the studio that it really took flight. Due a lot in part to then bassist for the band Nick Bisanz laying down, not only the bass, but all of the layered guitar parts giving it that Stoney’s, bluesy-honk feel and loose jam vibe, that I was looking for. I also really dug my vocal take on it, felt I captured the feel. The producer of the album did not want to even include it at first, saying he felt it was too much of a departure, but of course clearer heads prevailed and to me it is the centerpiece of that work.”
Rock journalist Jeff Jarema (Here Tis’ Magazine) proclaimed the song “.. one of the better vintage Stones-influenced sounds heard in awhile” and Joe Belock of WFMU simply said “Wow, those guitars”.
The album as a whole drew critical praise but perhaps "Tonight” was a bit overshadowed by some of the harder hitting ‘punk’ songs in the collection, thus this reintroduction to an anthem that delves deep into heartland Americana.
