I discovered that James Hunter had a new album coming out the other day and after hearing some sound samples was pretty stoked. In a RARE stroke of luck, I managed to see that he was playing at Lincoln Hall here in Chicago BEFORE the show actually happened and went down to check it out.
Now as the James Hunter 6 the band was super tight and super funky. Maybe it's the 5 years since his last album or the personal stuff he's had to go through but his sound is way "rougher" than I remember from his last CDs.
Case in point, these 2 covers which KILLED IT. By the age of these video posts, the band has had significant time to hone these tunes into the soulful funky goodness that I experienced this past Saturday.
Baby Don't Do It - The Five Royales
Down Home Girl - Originally The Coasters, but this is more a Stones cover tempo wise
