When I make a playlist I try to only use 1 or 2 songs of any given artist and these guys present a dilemma. So glad I found them, I would love to see them live. This song is fuel.

When the lady start rippin it in the beginning on the guitar🎸, you know it’s gonna be a good one. The whole band did great 👍

[jonkelly-zxxd]

Omg how aren't these guys on everyone's radar?!

[vbaraum]

Greetings from Cuiabá - Brazil. I love your music, the sound it's amazing. congrats for the band

[richards]

Fantastic track. Heard it on the radio in Finland today, thought it was a soul classic I'd never heard. Keep the faith

[jefferydaniels]

Soul. Pure and unadulterated soul. Some of the finest soul I've ever heard. When I think of Nashville, this is exactly the sound I imagine. You guys inspire me. I hope to see all of you live someday. The Viennese Waltz beat is absolutely invigorating. All of the sounds are rich with body and power. River is one of my favorites, and I often listen to it repeatedly. I'm gushing a bit, but I fucking LOVE this band.
