NEW
SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY VIDEO! "Don't Feel
Like Going There Today" |
|
Southern
Hospitality, the all-star roots-blues/Americana ensemble that's
creating a musical stir in the Deep South and beyond, has just released a video
of a song from their new Blind Pig album, Easy Livin.' The group is
fronted by guitar and lap steel whiz Damon Fowler, another guitar ace from
Florida, JP Soars, and pianoman extraordinaire Victor Wainwright from Memphis,
and backed by a sterling rhythm section of Chris Peet on drums and Chuck Riley
on bass. |
The
video features a live performance of "Don't Feel Like Going There
Today," where the band splashes a tasty helping of sweet Southern soul
sauce over the inviting reggae-inflected tune written and sung by Fowler.
No Depression described the song as a "Marley lope overlaid with some
twisted, wiggly guitar work by Soars and Fowler, backed by some itchy organ from
Wainwright."

Easy
Livin', which was produced in Louisiana by blues star Tab Benoit, debuted
in the Top Ten on the Billboard blues sales chart. Fans and critics alike are
responding enthusiastically to SoHo's distinctive mix of Southern soul, rootsy
rock and swampy blues. Twangville called the CD a "swampy gumbo recipe
reminiscent of classic southern rockers Little Feat (during the Lowell George
years) with a selection ranging from soul-inflected blues, to country, to jazz,
to straight-ahead rock." Barrehouse Blues added, "The musicianship
throughout is superb...a stunning tribute to the styles of music that make
American music so great." |
