Kenny Sharp – Broken Heart Diamond Ring [Single]

Kenny Sharp’s “Broken Heart, Diamond Ring“ doesn’t mess around. This blues number comes straight from the gut, leaning on grit and plainspoken storytelling to hammer home its mood. The tune kicks off with a rolling Wurlitzer electric piano line, giving off a smoky, live-room vibe. It’s not dressed up or overdone, and that’s what makes it stick.

Sharp lays out the story like he’s sitting across a bar table, voice rough but steady, telling of a run-in with a voodoo queen in New Orleans. There’s no fluff—just the hard truth of a warning ignored and the fallout that follows. A Hammond B3 organ creeps in, adding weight to the mix without stealing the show. By the second chorus, tambourines and shuffling guitar rhythms add just enough tension to keep the song moving, but it never boils over.

The lyrics are as straightforward as they come, telling of a man who bets against fate and loses big. By the time the refrain hits—“all that I can see is a broken heart and a diamond ring”—the weight of it lands squarely. The last verse peels the track back to just the piano, giving Kenny the space to drive the final nail in.

It’s bittersweet, grounded, and leaves just the right amount of ache behind.
