Minneapolis native from Derek Trucks / Tedeschi Trucks Band with an insane debut album full of fantastic soulful vibes in the vein of Classic ’60’s / ’70’s soul, incorporating a jam feel (they don’t jam, just that feel of it). Included is a GREAT cover of the Buzzcocks’ Everybody’s Happy Nowadays. Gtr, bass, drums, keys, horns. For fans of Tyrone Davis, Derek Trucks, Allman Brothers, Classic Soul. Phenomenal throughout!! No FCC’s.
