SOUL MESSAGE BAND/Soulful Days: An organ combo full of Chicago jazz vets show that white boys can be loaded with soul too—even if they are best known as jazzbos. With greasy B3 and soulful sax, these guys could be mistaken for Stax cats if Chicago soul didn’t have it’s own distinctive edge. Fun cats having a fun time, this is the go to party platter when you want to slow it down a bit but not put it to sleep. Smoking.
