That Soul Rebels track was fun. Any chance David Dye brought them back from NOLA, for the July Festival? It was great to hear new music from Lucero, Toy Soldiers, and Carolina Chocolate Drops. Yellow Ostrich got something going on. Agree with you about the Heartless Bastards album. But as positive as you are on that one, I am about the new Chuck Prophet. It’s early in the year I know, but for me “Temple Beautiful” is already the album to beat.
