Living for the moment, let the rhythm unfold! “Let The Good Times Roll” is a combination of the straightforwardness of disco music and the complexities of every element that makes up the entire song. Not only does it inflict the feeling of wanting to get up and dance, but it also radiates nostalgia with how much it resembles, nay, is the classic and timeless disco everyone has gotten to know and love.
Without a doubt, it’s like being in a good old fashioned club with how familiar it sounds. In the words of RSAI, “let yourself be transported – you might just find yourself dancing like it’s 1979 all over again.” It allows those who have experienced that very setting once more, and lets newer generations in on that same experience through this song alone.
The bassline and the funkiness of the guitar in the background are addicting, making this song a good candidate to play for practice or improv, because not only does it have ample room for dancing, it also has room for playing solos.
All in all, “Let The Good Times Roll” is self-explanatory, catchy, and will immediately pull audiences in with its familiar aura. One might even forget that this is released in a completely different age from fifty years ago. It’s definitely worth the listen, for all ages.
