(Trust me, if they were I would have the same misgivings). <br /><br />From what I understand, the band is actually "playing" a nuveau-hippie band (Although that might make it worse, I haven't decided), and this 'fake' band released a concept album. I think.<br /><br />But it's not the layers of detached irony that makes them great. There are a few songs on the album I tend to skip over, but even if the rest of the album were unlistenable, it would be worth the purchase for "Home." Maybe it's just a matter of that song hitting me in a certain place, but it just explodes with unironic and unabashed joy. It has a largess that makes it feel exuberant rather than grand and booming. (God, I sound pretentious there.) In somewhat less douche-tastic phrasing, "It happy make-smile music."<br /><br />There are also a few others worth listening to on the album (Namely 40 Day Dream and Janglin'), but Home is the one that really does it for me every time.rwiggumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828329937946911984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-35292638530944904572010-08-30T09:06:13.216-07:002010-08-30T09:06:13.216-07:00Aww, Jeff, right on with the Art Blakey recommenda...Aww, Jeff, right on with the Art Blakey recommendation! Absolutely gorgeous, it stirs up old memories of when I was a kid and my parents would drag me and my sister to live jazz places. Of course, I hated it then, but now I can listen to jazz and get all warm and nostalgic. Sounds like big city style jazz to me, but I can hear a little Kansas City jazz in there. <br /><br />Music excellence. Gotta wait for a rainy day and pull a chair up next to an open window for this album..E.

They've definitely modernized their sound (for the better imo) but their first few albums are like a funkier harder Grant Green organ trio setup. Their guitarist is Jimi Hendrix + Stevie Ray + Grant Green. Their keys player has the funkiest left hand I've ever heard.<br /><br />Definitely check out "Turn It Out" on itunes.<br />http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/turn-it-out/id3567008<br /><br />Although my personal favorite is their self titled live album "soulive".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334930815300823926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-30007930267801663862010-08-29T22:02:59.439-07:002010-08-29T22:02:59.439-07:00Good recommendations, Jeff.
