NYC Band Soulive celebrated the release of their new album last night with a fun show at the Canal room. No Place Like Soul hit stores yesterday; it is the first release on the newly reformed Stax Label. They've added vocals to this album and surprisingly, it works.
Soulive are a plethora of sounds - jazz, blues, rock, soul, R&B, and are a band of players. Eric Krasno shreds on guitar. This dude could also have a "Face Off" with John Mayer for funkiest guitar faces. Alan Evans slams down on drums and his bro Neal on Organs is no slouch.
They will be on tour nationally through August. For you NYC peeps they will be playing a free show today at Union Square Virgin Megastore. Showtime 7pm.
Peep this Soulive cover of Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Lenny", live from Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn 7.24.05:

Clearly the new singer must be an Alabama fan. :D
