"Mad Behavior" - a barbed wired blues rocker by Jack Berry feels so cinematic

Mad Behavior by Nashvilled based rocker Jack Berry is a barbed wired blues fused indie rocker that from the onset charges into your brain. Besides cutting a deep groove anchored with Berry's gritty vox it feels so utterly cinematic. It is (totally) drenched in a kind of immediacy, exploding out of the gate that gives it a deep hook filled commercial flair. I mean I could see this song as a theme for a Netflix 10 part gritty series called (of course) "Mad Behavior" or gracing a dozen Levis jeans or Jack Daniels commercials. It has that kind of cool / sultry / agro / blue rockiness of a Hanni El Khatib, etc. It is no wonder that Berry has other songs placed on Shameless. Cool stuff and this song is so stuck in my head right now.
