What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.

Needed some "feelgood music" and Sister Sledge never disppont .... btw who would have thought back then that 45 years later this would be hailed as genre classic - and rightly so ....

The Teskey Brothers - The Winding Way

My first listen to this band.

That's a hell of a voice and they seem to have nailed the sound, perhaps a bit too slavishly retro but I like this, a lot so far.

Wondering what @soulpopethinks of them?

That's surely feel good and yes, who would have thought?

They have just announced a concert in my local park next summer, I'm tempted. Sounds like summer evening music to me.

Gritty Southern Soul from Shelby Singleton`s SSS roster .... 🥳🥳🥳 ....

[felser]

Supporting musicians include Richard Davis, Mike Mainieri, John Tropea.  Same era as "Season of Lights", so largely redundant, but quite beautiful.
