The track arrives with a colorful video that matches the surreal quality of Poltz’s lyrics.
Steve Poltz puts Dylan-esque wordplay and the electric acid-test colors of the Sixties on display in his new song and video for “Can O’ Pop.” It’s the latest track off the San Diego-raised, Nashville-based songwriter’s upcoming album“Can O’ Pop” is a fizzy delight, with Poltz weaving in geographical allusions to tongue-twisting towns like Opelousas and Albuquerque while the Wood Brothers drummer Jano Rix lays down a beat with his congas.
For the video, Poltz enlisted Boston-based graphic artist Duncan Hatch to animate his surreal journey. “It’s weird to see your song all grown up with a college degree,” Poltz says of its evolution into an animated tale. “What a glorious video that dude Mr. Hatch made. I just watched it while on tour with the Wood Brothers. They let me ride on their fancy tour bus with them and they had a big old TV and we howled and danced and sang along at the top of our lungs. All I did was write the song with my pal Jano Rix. That video dude did all the heavy lifting.
Poltz, who dramatically raised his profile by co-writing “You Were Meant for Me” with Jewel, will reunite his cult band the Rugburns for a pair of shows this weekend in Solana Beach, California. He returns to Nashville to release
