Modern soul music played live with real instruments is pretty rare these days, which is really a shame, because when it sounds as good as this, it is truly a pleasure to be enjoyed. This free 6 track EP is an excellent release from a band that I hope will continue to bring us more of the same in the future, and I really look forward to hearing whatever they come up with next.

An outstanding track from the first album (“Get Down!”) by Soulive that was recorded back in 1999 but not released until 2002, featuring their jazz organ trio lineup: Alan Evans, Neal Evans and Eric Krasno.
