"Rules of the Night" | Joanna & Dem Riain | Sultry blues

🥃 Pour a double, dim the neon, and lock the door. Rules of the Night by Irish-expat indie blues duo Joanna & Dem Riain delivers a 12-track sultry blues journey straight from the smoke-stained back booths, late-night hotel rooms, and quiet moral reckonings of the American bar scene. Featuring gravel-and-silk vocals, crying vintage guitar bends, and deeply human storytelling about borrowed time, blurred wedding vows, and midnight chemistry, this full-length album captures the exact hour when the whiskey hits and the truth finally slips out. 🎧 Watch/Listen on YouTube:    • "Rules of the Night" | Joanna & Dem Riain ...   📍 Independent Irish-American Bar Blues | Full Album Stream ⏳ Tracklist & Chapters 00:00:00 After the Whiskey Fell Asleep 00:04:29 Whiskey on the Line 00:09:22 Kissed Me Goodbye 00:17:24 Rules of the Night 00:24:06 Rings on Our Hands 00:30:22 One Night in a Big City Blues 00:37:00 Five Minutes More 00:43:14 Under That Old Streetlight 00:47:49 After Hours Deal 00:55:31 Broken Laptop, Slow Burn Blues 01:01:18 Don’t Let This Night Fade Away 01:08:30 Velvet Lies & Whiskey Nights 🔥 Album Overview & Themes What happens when regular lives collide with irregular hours?
