Southern Avenue – Family (CD)
Product Details
Rooted in the same Memphis soil that gave us Stax and Sun Studio, Southern Avenue brings that city's deep soul tradition into the present tense without a hint of nostalgia or imitation. The Crutcher siblings and bandmates have been road-tested on stages from local clubs to major festivals, and that lived-in chemistry shows in every groove here.
Blues Music Award-winning, GRAMMY-nominated, Memphis-based family band plays original, modern soul and roots music that is uplifting and timeless. On "Family," their fourth album and first for Alligator, the band unleashes one musically memorable performance after another, all delivered with soul-healing power. From triumphant opener Long Is The Road to the emotionally resonant Found A Friend In You to the raucous Rum Boogie, the music is a vibrant blend of Memphis soul and blues, warm sister harmonies, and positive messages reminiscent of The Staple Singers. From the irresistible Upside to the fierce determination of Flying to the closing, ruminative We Are, Family unveils hard-hitting, universal truths about the unshakable power of togetherness.
