The year isn’t even over and I have a new favorite record of 2008 - with the forecast that it may not even be eclipsed by the end of the year. Featuring legendary Detroit soul/rock icon Scott Morgan, this band powers through 11 songs that you’d swear were written and recorded in the heydey of midwest soul. You’d probably never even guess that the band itself was made of up of Swedish rock guys (notably Nicke Andersson and Mattias Hellberg from The Hellacopters).
First track from ‘Will Not be Televised’ - You Gotta Come Down:
The musicianship is solid, songs are well written and don’t try too hard to be throwbacks. These guys mean it, and Morgan’s voice is as powerful and honest as they come. I think that it’s one of those rare albums that you’ll thank yourself for buying and wonder how you had gotten through the year so far without it.
It’s Sunday, and it just feels right.
