The True Loves: Crack Symphony

The True Loves, ace backing band to contemporary soul man Eli 'Paperboy' Reed, have stepped out of the shadows to grab the limelight with a pulsating funk instrumental, Crack Symphony, that should be blasting out of car stereos and in municipal parks all summer long.

Play Crack Symphony

Crack Symphony had me reaching for Cause You're  Mine  by The Vibrations (for the pace) and Jackie Wilson's You Got Me Walking album (for the soulful guitar). It already sounds like a classic. (It was apparently released last summer, but it's just shown up on the new releases list where I buy my records and, well, summer's here and the time is right for this record right now.)
