Artist description Listen.com review: "Blues/Funk hybrid with a grinding appeal and pop-catchy confidence rarely encountered in modern mainstream blues.Traditionally structured songs are slicked up and fully warped; the rhythms are skewered with inescapable Latino,Funk, even Ska-flavored touches; and a big fat horn section handily bottoms things out. It's almost as if the Metersare backing Mark Sandman's bass and sax attack with D. Boon on vocals. Half those people are dead, but this musicdefinitely isn't."
