Rachel and The Ruckus Deliver Country Rockin’ Goodness on Water & Oil

Rachel and The Ruckus-Water and Oil

Rachel and The Ruckus deliver tasty and infectious country rock on their latest single (and video) Water and Oil.

An autobiographical account of moving to Colorado for a fresh start after a bad relationship, Water and Oil is the soundtrack for a journey into the Rocky Mountains to reinvent oneself.

I moved from California to be with my husband who is from here.” say Rachel Alena. “It’s basically about leaving my home and chasing a dream. What’s more rock and roll than that?”

Fast paced, melodic guitars backed by driving rhythms and accented with unexpected but anthemic horn arrangements, Water and Oil is part country rock, part southern rock, and 100% pure passion. When those horns come in, you won’t be able to resist the urge to get up and groove.

Watch the video for Water and Oil below or on YouTube.

You can connect with Rachel and The Ruckus on Facebook or Soundcloud.
