“Sittin Heavy” calls back to the good ol’ days of Lynard Skynard, Molly Hatchet, Foghat, and Grand Funk Railroad. If the guitar solos were female, they’d be strong-willed, confident, and so eye-popping gorgeous you wouldn’t be able to keep your jaw from dropping straight to the floor on some classic Bob Clampett cartoon shit!
