Uncle Nef – Love Songs (CD)
Product Details
Shannon Powell has spent decades anchoring the New Orleans rhythm section at its deepest roots, logging time with Dr. John, Harry Connick Jr., and countless others who carry the city's tradition forward. Love Songs pairs his drumming and vocals with Darren Hoffman's raw, electric intensity in a collaboration that feels less like a studio project and more like a late-night conversation between two musicians who trust each other completely.
2019 release. Drummer Shannon Powell stands tall in the lineage of New Orleans' rhythmic giants; he is a torchbearer of the city's culture and one of the finest drummers in the world. He's also a great singer, his vocals invoking styles that echo the churches, street parades and jazz clubs of his hometown. Darren Hoffman is a multi-instrumentalist and music producer originally from Miami, Florida. On Love Songs, we find Powell and Hoffman stretching out, but not relaxing at all. The mood is highly charged and powerful, with Powell hitting hard and Hoffman shredding like a chainsaw on razor wire. There are some subtle love songs on Love Songs, but many tracks that speak to the full experience of love - the energy, the tension, the elation and the agony. Classic tracks are included to keep the concept in context with originals both fun and frenzied mixed in.
