The second you hit play on The Commoners’ brand-new single “Just Watch Me”, you’re slapped across the face by a sleazy, swaggering guitar riff that could’ve tumbled straight off Shake Your Money Maker. And that, dear reader, is the highest compliment we can pay.

This isn’t just another roots-rock track – it’s a slow-burning, gospel-kissed ballad that morphs from bar-room strut to cathedral-sized uplift in under four minutes. The Commoners have always worn their influences proudly, but here they’ve distilled the greasy soul of The Black Crowes, the heartland ache of Tom Petty, and the communal fire of a Sunday-morning choir into something that feels both timeless and urgently now.

Track Review: ★★★★★ / 5 – A Career-Defining Statement

From the very first chord, that dirty, hip-shaking riff slithers in like Chris Robinson after three whiskies and a bad breakup. It’s pure Southern-fried filth – the kind of lick that makes you lean back in your chair and involuntarily nod “hell yes.” Then the band locks in: thumping kick drum, warm Hammond swirl, and soaring gospel backing vocals that lift the chorus into the rafters.

Lyrically, it’s a defiant middle finger to self-doubt – “If you think the crown weighs heavy on me, you ain’t been listening” – delivered with the gravelly conviction of a man who’s earned every scar. When the line “I’m making up a task force, the likes you’ve never seen” hits, backed by those heavenly harmonies, you’ll be fist-pumping in your kitchen.

And that guitar solo? A molten, slow-hand masterpiece that starts as a whisper and ends in a scream – pure catharsis.

At 3:45 it’s radio-friendly, but make no mistake: this is arena-sized soul wrapped in bar-room sweat. With each release, The Commoners level up – Restless (2024) was the statement, Live in the UK proved they deliver on stage, and “Just Watch Me” is the coronation.
