I'm going to repeat what I posted in my write-up for "Volume 5," because this is more of the exact same thing:
If you heard and liked any of the earlier volumes, you should definitely like this. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, there are a lot of people who have made mash-ups, combining the recordings of two songs to hopefully create something new and interesting. But in my opinion, McClintock is the master of this technique, and his soaring YouTube views are evidence of that.
I've mentioned in the past that McClintock has pretty much single-handedly created a new genre of music, "soul metal," by combining soul songs with heavy metal songs. The resulting mash-ups are fascinating. In my opinion, many of them could be big hits in some bizarro alternate universe. I'm not even much of a heavy metal fan, but I don't think you have to be to enjoy these.

There's only a couple of things I want to add to that. One is that it's very hard to give adequate song titles and artist names for each track, and it's getting harder all the time. That's because, generally speaking, he mashes two songs together. But more and more, he's drawing on other songs as well as adding them into his edits. So often these credits are oversimplifications. Check out his YouTube and look at each song for more detailed and accurate information. In some cases, he's really gone wild, using many source songs. The last track is an example of that, drawing from 12 songs!
The other thing I want to mention is that at the same time I'm posting this, I'm reposting the five earlier volumes. The music is the same for those, but I upgraded the cover art. Thanks to improving AI technology, I was able to improve the clarity and detail. I also changed the main color of the first two volumes, to better create a rainbow effect if you look at all the covers together.
If McClintock keeps posting new material at the same rate of the past couple of years, I hope to have a Volume 7 to post some time in 2026.

The cover is basically the exact same as the previous ones in this series, with only a bit of the text and the background color changing. That's a photo of McClintock in the center.
