Lucero as cherubic young lads? Via Daytrotter.
Lucero “The Devil and Maggie Chascarillo”
The best song on “1372 Overton Park,” live and looser in the Daytrotter studio. The session also features “Mom,” “That Much Farther West” and “Can’t Feel a Thing,” all free for download. Read “Love and Rockets!” [Daytrotter]
Jeanne and the Darlings “Soul Girl”
Maybe now that Concord’s reissuing the Stax catalog we’ll finally get a collection from Jeanne and the Darlings, the greatest soul act to ever come out of North Little Rock. Here they offer an answer song to Sam and Dave’s “Soul Man.” [Soul Sides]
Solange “Stillness is the Move”
Noted hipster and Beyonce sister Solange turns the Dirty Projectors’ best song into a soul jam. Love how the song’s signature guitar riff sounds like its run through a Teenie Hodges filter. [Stereogum]
