Self Made Man

Larkin Poe

Don’t let the name of this album lead you astray. Larkin Poe is a female duo comprised of two kick-ass sisters: Rebecca & Megan. They’re both immensely talented, multi-instrument rockstars with an appreciation for the blues. American Songwriter puts it best when they describe Larkin Poe’s take on blues as “pure, decades old Delta style, pumped up for arena sized consumption without compromising any of its stripped down command and intensity.” As made incredibly popular by Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” the clap-beat is a staple on Self Made Man that adds a live performance feel to many of the tracks. Clap along, sing along, and rock out.

Wait a tick, what is Delta style blues? According to Britannica, Delta style blues (aka Mississippi Delta blues) is a regional style of American folk music that originated in Northwestern Mississippi. This style of blues rose during the 1920's and 30's and then served as the foundation of Chicago blues, electric blues, and the folk blues revival in the post-World War II years.

The Long Way Home

Aaron Taylor

Come get your ears some neo-Soul. Of a list of top-20 Neo-Soul and R&B artists you should know by Pink Wafer, Aaron Taylor is described as staying, “truest to the roots of neo-soul.” Taylor’s style of neo-soul typically features a minimalistic/groovy R&B beat, a jazzy spirit, and a variety of flair you’d come to expect from the “neo” version of a genre. I truly love the tracks I Think I Love You Again and Get Through This as perfect products of Taylor’s unique vision.

Fun fact: the term neo-soul was coined by music industry entrepreneur Kedar Massenburg (president of Motown Records from ’97 to ’04) during the late 1990s according to Wikipedia.

Carolina Confessions

The Marcus King Band

Are you the person at the backyard drinking party that's likely to break into screams of "SKYNNNARDDDDD" when you hear the infamous intro riff to 'Simple Man'? Or are you the person that will tell anyone who will listen, and several who won't, that country music died when the CMAs were formed? If either of these scenarios have played out in your life before, then we think you're going to enjoy Caroline Confessions by The Marcus King Band. 

Southern Rock & Soulful Country Music ain't dead yet baby. A wonderful blend of the Alabama Shakes, Chris Stapleton and Broken Bones, The Marcus King Band has just the right amount of soul, horn section,  sweet pandering lyrics about 'life back home' and bluesy guitar licks. This 2018 album is the perfect length at just 10 tracks that will leave you wanting for more. 

Marcus King, the frontman for the band, has recently released a solo album produced by none other than Album Daily veteran Dan Auerbach. Look for reviews of that album forthcoming!

So Long Forever

Palace

So Long Forever comes as the first album from the indie folk-rock band, Palace.  The songs never feel rushed, but still pack an emotional punch, dripping in reflection and melancholy. Lead singer, Leo Wyndham's voice is approachable and allows the group to dive into heavier topics throughout the album, including his own adversity and personal change. Overall, So Long Forever comes as a dreamy set of tunes and a perfect complement to those laid-back fall evenings.
