Tom Wackett creates a new acoustic pulse with latest release "Stand By Me"

Tom Wackett's latest release "Stand By Me (Ben E. King Cover)" is a modern acoustic that takes on live looping and gritty, unprocessed vocals. It begins with soft acoustic guitar and builds to a more full and uplifting sound. It builds in layers and a danceable pulse gives the familiar song a new rhythmic character, while the acoustic core remains central. The live-looping approach lends the arrangement a sense of greater scale than its restrained opening. “Stand By Me (Ben E. King Cover)” is a combination of simplicity and motion. Acoustic guitar, natural vocals, and layered loops offer a contemporary presentation. This gives a clear sonic identity that is the basis for an intimate but uplifting interpretation.
