Sparkle Carcass lean into straight-ahead honesty on their new single “Rainy Day Head”, a barroom-ready honky tonk rocker built on damp acoustics, a Skynyrd-meets-Stones riff, and a shuffle that begs to be played loud on a jukebox. Steel guitar and sing-along hooks give the song a nostalgic pull, as songwriter Cody Palmer reflects on early Chicago days filled with day jobs, wedding gigs, rainy afternoons, and ceiling-staring songwriting sessions. With Palmer joined in the band by his wife and fellow artist Reilly Downes, “Rainy Day Head” lands with warmth, grit, and the kind of lived-in charm that sticks around long after the last chorus fades.
