PJ Ferguson & The Tennessee Strange - Don’t Tell Me What To Play

Thushara Chandrasiri


One of the most important things any  band will tell you is the ability to really celebrate your identity and use your platform to hear your music heard rather than being placed in a box or expected to do something with almost suffocates your independence as an artist. Therefore you should make sure that you check out the brand-new song Don't Tell Me What To Play By the band PJ Ferguson & The Tennessee Strange.


 To really understand what this means you need to watch the actual music video because it almost takes a humorous side but with an edge of reality of some of the things musicians sometimes,  in the case of this song that awkward situation where you turn up to play a show and then our expected to play a bunch of covers that don't really give you room to really embrace your own individuality. 


This song therefore provides an opportunity to address the elephant in the room and  sees the band saying,  ‘hold up don't be dictating to me what to do’. While the song is fun I also like the fact that it's brutally honest as well with a humorous edge to it, so not only our music friends going to find a lot of enjoyment in this song but also feather musicians and anyone that found themselves in a similar situation in terms of having their creative freedom dictated to them will find a lot of resonance in the song. Be sure you check the single out right now.
