Rusty Reid’s single “Attitude Change” bursts out with a spirit that feels both vintage and timeless. As the first track from ‘The Unreasonables’, the long-hidden album recorded decades ago, the song sets the tone with a lively pop-rock sound that is playful and confident. From the opening chords, the guitar work stands out—bright, jangly, and filled with an easy groove that instantly pulls you in. The beat is steady but not rushed, giving the track a smooth flow that lets Reid’s delivery shine. It doesn’t sound like a polished, overproduced piece; instead, it carries the raw energy of a band in their prime, capturing the excitement of music made for the joy of it.
What makes “Attitude Change” so engaging is the way it balances sass with simplicity. The song has an almost cheeky quality in its rhythm and tone, as if it’s winking at the listener while keeping things lighthearted. Reid and his band let the instruments do much of the talking—the guitars shimmer with personality, and the rhythm section keeps the pulse sharp without overwhelming the mix. There’s a certain charm in how the track feels effortless, as though it wasn’t trying to prove anything, just to create something fun and infectious. That lack of pretense is what makes it stand out in today’s world of heavily produced tracks.
Beyond its sound, “Attitude Change” represents a piece of musical history finding its voice after forty years. It asks listeners to not just enjoy the song for what it is, but to recognize the passion behind it—the spark of a band that almost never got heard. This rediscovered track carries the excitement of rock and roll at its most unfiltered, reminding us why people fell in love with the genre in the first place. It’s bold, catchy, and memorable, the kind of song that feels like it was always meant to be played loud and shared widely. Rusty Reid and ‘The Unreasonables’ have given the world a gift: a track that connects the past to the present without losing its fire.
