He’s Crooked stands as the sublime debut single by the Sydney-based blues rock band El Coyote. The track seamlessly blends the musical aesthetics of The Black Keys with the vintage charm of old Chicago blues. Featuring a harmonica riff that adds a unique touch, muddy guitar tones, a gospel-like organ, driving bass, and vocals pulled straight from hell’s dive bar, He’s Crooked delivers energy, intrigue, and raw, intense passion. The song explores the concept of a person’s deepest fears personified as a mysterious figure under a flickering streetlamp.
Raw, gritty, and uniquely flavored with a touch of the desert, El Coyote carries the golden treasure of Australian music heritage in this impressive debut.
