"Live" marks their third release from this acid-blues trio from Detroit, MI, Soledad Brothers garner more attention with their fiery lo-fi blues songs that emanate from the souls of Robert Johnson and Mississippi Fred McDowell but have the edge of the Rolling Stones, a straight kick to the head. Loud and wailing, dirty and with a swanky sting, Soledad Brothers only know how to blend the most authentic sounds and give it a modern rough edge.
Featured in the March 2003 SPIN, Soledad Brothers are going to be one of the bands to watch in 2003, and their album, "Live" is sure to break them from the midwest underground, where they are much-loved, to a national audience. Stripped-down raw blues, played on guitar, drums and sax, Soledad Brothers have the intensity of punk rockers and the knowledge and love of music of record collectors. Taking their name from Black Panther George Jackson's 1971 book about his incarceration, Soledad Brothers are a new American band ready to bridge politics and personal experience, black and white music and make you shake your moneymaker!
