SINGLE REVIEW: ARNOLD MITCHEM “TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE”
Just like the best tunes in the blues-rock spectrum revolve around the constant theme of heartbreak and loneliness, “Teach Me How to Love” is no exception. The interplay between Arnold Mitchem’s ragged, road-worn voice and a somber bluesy guitar set the mood on a lonely country road.
Written by Arnold Mitchem and Ron Finn, “Teach Me How to Love” has the nostalgic remembrance of traditional country’s authentic storytelling with a flavorful classic rock and rhythm & blues undertone.
Misty backing vocal set off the captivating chorus with a hint of spiritual endeavor. “Teach me how to love again, teach me how to be my own best friend. I can’t seem to find a way to let it go.”
“Teach Me How to Love” brings back warmth and memories from a real band sound after a long year under covid restriction. The emotions tied to moving on and leaving the past behind resonate beyond the term of love and relationships. There is a sense of heaviness and vicissitude in the smooth tone.
