Listen to the newest JEFF The Brotherhood track, “Sixpack”, produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach!

This lovely, lilting gem of an album crescendos and crashes like a wave upon the shore, largely thanks to Alaina Moore’s delightful voice and Patrick Riley’s creation of a 60s/70s vintage pop vibe.

“I Found You” from Alabama Shakes is more than just some 60′s soul/50′s blues throwback, it’s more like Ruth Brown meets James Brown with a slight hint of The Starlighters mixed in and there’s a difference between the two. It’s one thing to be able to throw bands like that in as references, it’s another [...]
