The Robert Cray Band "I'm Done Crying" Live at KDHX 09/14/12

2009 marks Soulive's 10th Anniversary and over the past 10 years, Soulive have covered a lot of ground musically and literally. Not many bands can say they have recorded with Chaka Khan, Dave Matthews, Talib Kweli and John Scofield. Nor can many bands open for The Rolling Stones on one tour and have Stevie Wonder sit in with them on the next tour, and who else has recorded for legendary labels such as Blue Note, Concorde AND Stax Records? Pedigree indeed!

Of this brand new album founding member, drummer Alan Evans says "This is the Soulive album I've always wanted to record. It's what I've been hearing in my head for years, like when people say "if I could go back in time knowing what I know now" Well, that's what we did with Up Here. The session had the vibe and energy of Get Down but with all of our experiences from the past 10 years put down on tape in a very meaningful way"

The record's opening track "Upright" immediately sets the tone with a completely infectious hook featuring keyboard maestro Neal Evans on an old upright piano. There are some nods to the "old-school" on the record. "For Granted" is a tip of the hat to Grant Green, and Eric plays licks reminiscent of his early solos on Get Down and Turn It Out. Guest vocalist Nigel Hall tears it up on "Too Much" (also released as a killer Freestyle funk 45 FSR7059) while Eric's guitar sings like D'Angelo on the laid-back grind of "Put on Yo Pajamas" (P J's)

The entire record features tight horn arrangements from long-time Soulive collaborators and friends, Sam Kininger and Ryan Zoidis otherwise know as The Shady Horns

No matter how you listen to Up Here, it sounds like you're listening to vintage vinyl. One of the most difficult things about making a record with a great live band is capturing all that live energy while still making the record that's about songs. Up Here does as good a job as any record could in accomplishing this. "Straight up", says Alan, "this is the first Soulive album that I can say every tune on it is my favorites on the album". 

SOULIVE - 07 Hat Trick

The Smiley Tillmon Band was formed in early 2008 when Smiley Tillmon and Tom Rezetko began playing blues together at local open jam nites throughout the Chicagoland area. After a few weeks, the jams got funkier and the crowds got bigger, which led Smiley and Tom to seek out a band. Smiley likes to mix up the group to achieve a modern and unique style of blues, funk, soul and jazz. The band includes members of Raoul Duke, Sam Sinclair Trio, along with other local favorites and blues killers.

Here's a little mix I did today from some fine music that was lying around.
I hope you enjoy these arabic tendencies with a touch of modalism etceteraaaaa..

Here's the game..
You must name the tracks and artists and the first one to get it right will receive a proper bundle of vinyl from Brownswood records and from the basement - some old and new in there....but I don't think you'll get it so I might as well throw in a copy of Donald Byrd's Kofi if I can find my second one!

Good luck and good digging!
