Came across this tune, “Our Love”, on my Spotify Discover Weekly list last night. I love the Ian Moore style guitar at 1:27 (hoping to see him with his band at Dan’s Silverleaf on Friday night and hoping the sound is much better than at the Guitar Sanctuary).
These are 2 brothers from Canada that have become relatively well known over the last few years. They grew up in a musical household – their Dad was a singer/songwriter and played a lot of Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, and John Hiatt. You can certainly here those influences – particularly in the guitar styles.
The Relatives, “Things are Changing”, was another pleasant discovery last night. Turns out this is a band formed in Dallas over 40 years ago that has just recently reformed and is enjoying some success. Gospel music with Jimi Hendrix and Sly and the Family Stone running through it. You can really feel that kicking in around 1:34. Here’s a NY Times article about the band.
And here’s the song.
