Sign of the times: long-time collaborators Bruce and Joe Grushecky now team up over e-mail–seriously.
Written by Joe around the time Trump took office the firs time, “That’s What Makes Us Great” has a classic Houserockers sound, even though it’s a duet between Joe and Bruce. Maybe that’s because Joe had the song recorded before Bruce added his vocals.
Bruce recorded his vocals from his home studio and e-mailed them to Joe. The result: the pointed, defiant resistance anthem that’s sadly even more relevant today.
Keep resisting. No kings.
