Williams about Ride On: “I heard fragments of this song in a dream after a particularly heavy night. In the dream it was the theme for the opening sequence of an old western movie starring Ice-Cube. I woke up humming this melody, and the phrase ‘He was out there in the city eating western takeaways’ going round my head. I got out of bed and wrote the rest of the track in a few minutes.”
TUTV: Expect a raw and rough ride triggered by manic drum thwacks, a storm of guitar riffs, and Williams shooting his agitated vocals from the hip, adding an extra injection of sonic fuel.
Always fast-forward. No brakes, no breaks. Punked-up, revved-up, kicked-up and burning with reckless vitality. Put on your boots, get up on your horse and follow the wild Williams western wind, folks.
