(Image credit: Future) Jared James Nichols has further fuelled the engine of the proverbial hype train for his upcoming EP , Bad Roots. The three-and-a-half-minute blues-rock track will feature on the EP’s tracklist alongside the previously released lead single, Skin 'n Bone, with Nichols describing his latest offering as “an anthem to rise above and continue to reach for good instead of evil." It’s a JJN track through-and-through, boasting some super-sweet, gain-laden riffs, and a smattering of tastily deployed blue-note bends that, courtesy of Nichols’s trademark Les Paul-driven tone, supercharge the track in the lead up to the extended guitar solo.
