Every Fool Has A Rainbow: Bobby Seifert & His Country Rebels Serve Up a Rustic Gem
If you’re the kind of listener who digs raw, unpolished tunes with heart—and maybe a dash of twang—then Every Fool Has A Rainbow by Bobby Seifert & His Country Rebels is your jam. Released under the Country Side label, this album straddles that sweet spot between Rockabilly grit and Country soul. It’s not trying too hard to be cool, which makes it kinda cool, y’know?
The title track, “Every Fool Has A Rainbow,” kicks things off like a warm handshake from an old friend. The melody has this easygoing shuffle to it, like boots scuffing on a wooden floor at some backwoods honky-tonk. What sticks with me most about this one? The lyrics—they’re simple but pack a punch. Lines about chasing dreams and finding light in dark places feel universal yet deeply personal. You don’t need a PhD in poetry to get it; it just hits right where it counts.
Then there’s “No Hard Time Blues.” Man, this song sneaks up on ya. At first listen, it feels like your average bluesy country number, but give it time. That guitar riff keeps tugging at your sleeve, refusing to let go. And Bobby’s voice—he doesn’t try to oversell anything. He lets the music breathe, leaving space for those little imperfections that make it feel alive. By the second chorus, I found myself humming along like I’d known the tune forever.
This album ain’t perfect, though. Some tracks blend together if you’re not paying close attention, and yeah, the production could’ve been sharper. But honestly? That rough-around-the-edges vibe works here. It’s like flipping through an old photo album instead of scrolling Instagram filters—real, flawed, beautiful.
Here’s the kicker: listening to Every Fool Has A Rainbow made me think about how we all crave authenticity these days. We scroll past polished posts and slick playlists, searching for something genuine. This record reminds us that sometimes, the cracks are where the light gets in. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it because I miss road trips with good music blasting outta tinny car speakers. Either way, Bobby Seifert & His Country Rebels nailed it.
