In today’s busy country music scene, Cliff & Susan keep on making their mark with their new
single, “Spitfire.” Dropped in January, this track isn’t just about love—it’s also a stirring tribute to
the unstoppable spirit of women everywhere.
Right from the opening notes, “Spitfire” pulls you into a lively, unmistakable sound that only Cliff
& Susan can deliver. Their favorite mix of country, rock, and Americana shines through, with Cliff
Prowse impressing us with his knack for playing multiple instruments. The energetic fiddles,
punchy beats, and killer guitar riffs set a mood that’s as exciting as it is inviting.
The lyrics tell a beautiful story about the ups and downs of love and admiration. Cliff’s writing
paints a picture of a woman who’s “sweet as honey” yet “cold as ice”—capturing that intriguing
mix of softness and strength that so many incredible women have. A particularly memorable
line, “fiddle and steel your heart away,” not only tips its hat to their country roots but also wraps
up the song’s message: vulnerability can be as powerful as strength.
But what really makes “Spitfire” shine is Susan’s background vocals. Her harmonies add a rich
layer of emotion and longing, perfectly underscoring the song’s empowering message. The way
their voices blend is nothing short of magical, highlighting each artist’s unique strengths while
coming together to create a sound that feels both warm and authentic.
The single was produced at their very own Big Red Dog Productions studio, where top-notch
musicians like Terry Martin on pedal steel and Dane Bryant on the B3 organ helped add a depth
and texture that makes every moment pop. It’s clear that Cliff & Susan pour their hearts into
their work, prioritizing both quality and a true expression of artistry.
Looking ahead, “Spitfire” sets an upbeat tone for what’s coming next in their journey. With a
newly released music video, and their reputation for electrifying live shows, this single is bound
to become a favorite among fans.
In a world where many tracks can start to feel a bit too by-the-book, “Spitfire” is a refreshing
burst of originality. It celebrates not only the duo’s unique musical style but also honors the fiery
spirit of the women who inspire us all. So, turn up the volume and enjoy—this is one track you
definitely don’t want to miss.
