Ooh! Brass! and Telecasters (ok, Reverends) and damn the soul in that voice! This just can’t be ignored. Bonnaroo bound St. Paul and the Broken Bones’ sound is timeless in that Motown sense. Lawdy mercy I’m swooning… Add another to the “must see” list for Bonnaroo 2014 in Manchester, TN. I think I’ve said enough.
“St. Paul and the Broken Bones’ music doesn’t just mimic the sounds its members love; it regenerates the tradition. This is what happens when players are unusually in tune with each other and with the discoveries they’re sharing. Half the City is the first major recorded statement from a band already growing into greatness. Get it now, while the sweat’s still fresh.” NPR
