THREE FOR THURSDAY: ONE ELEVEN HEAVY, NEAL FRANCIS as well as DREW HOLCOMB as well as THE neighbors

Today, three soft rock, blues as well as foot-stomping people albums. Let’s begin with Drew Holcomb as well as the Neighbors’ latest, Dragons. It’s what you’d expect from this Americana folk, as well as it’s likewise got some fantastic guest features by the likes of Lone Bellow, Ellie Holcomb, as well as one of my most current preferred artists, among others.

Nothing fancy here–just great music.

Next up: One Eleven Heavy’s “Desire Path.” It’s the most pure country of the lot, as well as the most eclectic as well. At times, it veers close to a “jam band” sound–although it’s never ponderous. It’s a lot more the mood, simple going as well as loose. I discovered it a extremely fascinating listen. inspect it out.

And last is my preferred of today’s three features: “Changes” by Neal Francis.
Sadly, he’s not using the entire album for stream–just preorder on Bandcamp. What does it noise like? Well, it seems extremely strange: Piano-driven funk. exactly how is that possible? inspect this out:
Changes by Neal Francis
Yeah, I assumption Dr. Hook did a few of this a long time ago, however who’s doing it now? as well as Francis modernizes the Nawlins noise with unique modern-indie sounding vocals.

And then on tunes like “She’s a Winner,” on which a keyboard chugs together with strong horn accents, I can hear a bit bit of hot chocolate as well as perhaps even The Doobies.  There’s a great deal that’s familiar in this song: It’s a like a collage as well as homage to early 1970s rock, where the lighter, early 1960s people rock as well as the heavier, late ’60s blues rock started to fold together.

I understand there’s a great deal of 1970s revivals going on ideal now, as well as I like them all.  however I particularly like this one!
