Though they don’t play as big a part here as they have in other iconic rock songs, the guitars that lace 308 Ghost Train’s “Bleed Over Me” with sizzle are undeniably just as integral to the single’s chill-factor as any of the other elements in the music are.

Billy Ray Rock’s new single “Get the Funk” is a celebration of funk that doesn’t tether […]
