Tweed Funk - First Name Lucky - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Inspired by a recent trip to Memphis we wanted to create an organic album with a minimal amount of overdubs and production. DJs and fans have been asking us for a live album and we hope to cut one in the future - but for now we have a studio album that was primarily cut live with first or second takes. Our goal was to capture the energy, excitement, and raw emotive powers of freshly written original tunes and some select covers. So much fantastic music has come out of the legendary studios of Memphis and we hope with this album that we have embodied the spirit of some of the great blues, soul, and roots music that has helped shape America. 'Milwaukee-based R&B machine Tweed Funk is a powerhouse in the tradition of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, laced with the stage presence of Luther Allison. The band could be compared to neo-throwback soul merchants like Charles Walker and the Dynamites or even Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, although Tweed's Stax-influenced sound is maxed out with a horn section that's loud and in charge.' - Living Blues Magazine.
