SOULIVE - Up Here (2009)

Great stuff from one of those groups who just keep on grooving over the years, always hitting hard with their own unique take on Deep Funk!! We first loved Soulive back when the group were issuing music on self-produced albums, and they've really come a long way in their sound, and have learned a lot about their instruments in the process. Things here are super-tight, but never overly-jamming, and if anything, it almost feels like the group have stepped back a bit towards their roots, yet with all the prowess picked up over the years. Alan Evans brings some mighty drums to the group, and also sings just a bit, Eric Krasno plays guitar, and Neal Evans handles both organ, bass keys, and clavinet!! Great!!
