Jude and The Lost Cause – On My Way (Single Review)

In today’s review on Music Review World, we have a new project from artists never featured before on this platform: Dave Mauk (Sympathetic Ears, The Knobs) and Mark Toner (former US Ambassador to Liberia among other notable accomplishments). The two of them have come together to form a group called Jude and The Lost Cause, with a new single titled ‘On My Way’. It is described as featuring the guitar virtuosity and studio wizardry of ‘The Maestro’, with the self-described old dogs laying down a groove. Let’s tune in and find out more about it.

The track is definitely very spunky and filled with character, donning a very folksy-rock tune to it. The instruments are mastered quite well and the two musicians have provided a lot of dynamic to the track, making it quite desirable and palatable to listeners who may not be familiar with the genre.

The groove is extremely stable and consistent throughout the duration of the track, with a singable hook. The two vocalists are also quite proficient, and I can hear good control and pitch from both of them even with an organic feel. The instruments and guitar segments provide the track with a lot of motivic variation and definitely take it to the next level, giving the track an ’emotional’ and compositional peak.

Honestly, this is a great track that expresses itself to the point and with proficient tact to it. Hope to hear more from Jude & The Lost Cause.

Score/Good: Jude & The Lost Cause definitely impresses listeners with ‘On My Way’, proving it right that these old dogs can not simply lay down a groove, but throw the groove. It’s a track with lots of character, dynamics and soul to it.
