Title: It's A Long Road Artist: Meltdown Label: Hope Street Rec Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 754003284782 Genre: Blues Release Date: 2022-08-26 Number of Discs: 1
Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 release. The Meltdown present their second LP It's A Long Road, a wistful and uplifting journey through dusty, countrified soul music and tender, reflective songwriting. Led by vocalist, keyboard player and producer Simon Burke, the band is understated but deft throughout, letting the songs and Simon's golden voice do the heavy lifting. The band stick to a sonic palette reminiscent of golden era Southern soul studios from Memphis to Muscle Shoals and in that tradition there's as much as country-soul and blues in the mix as there is soul and funk. Of particular interest to fans of Durand Jones and the Indications, Lee Fields and Tedeschi Trucks.
