Single reviews: CAITLIN KRISKO & THE BROADCAST – Let It Ride, Hello My Dear

October 8th, 2025 by jason

These singles from Cailtin are coming like bullets from a gatling gun at the moment. So fast that I didn’t have chance to review ‘Let It Rid’e before Hello My Dear dropped on me.

So briefly ‘Let It Ride’ is more sass and swagger from Caitlin and the boys, with some swooping slide, a bit of tremolo and a whole lot of rock guitar underpinning Caitlin’s vocal attitude, which is badass indeed. The bass and drums are holding rock steady and the overall effect is what you want from America’s latest roots and rock band.

The latest single released a mere four weeks after Let It Ride, is ‘Hello My Dear’, and it puts the breaks on to deliver a little slow blues number, with all the ingredients you would expect of such a number. It features some lovely fender Rhodes piano and Hammond organ, with some pedal steel guitar weaving in and out, with the obligatory but tasteful electric lead break Caitlins plaintiff voice emoting over the top, being the icing on the cake

I’m not one to look for new and groundbreaking music, I was brought up on rock and blues and although I have taken detours into dangerous territory at times I have always sought comfort in good honest old fashioned country tinged rock n roll and blues, and this is what Caitlin Krisko and The Broadcast deliver every time.

All these singles will be available on a 6 track collectors EP, Keepsake, released in December and also a forthcoming album, Heirloom, released early 2026. I know what I am putting on my Christmas list.

The band is also going out on a UK tour between 30th November and 13th of December.
