Testify
CD (Item 590569) GED Soul, 2011 — Condition: New Copy
A nice one from Nashville modern funk veterans Sky Hi – balancing hard grooving grit and emotionally resonant soulfulness on this great set for the increasingly impressive GED Soul label! The group has been kicking around the region for the better part of a decade leading up to this album, and they've really evolved into masters of both modern funk and timeless southern soul – passionate vocals, both sweet and funky horns, some great Hammond organ, drums and percussion. Of course if the songs weren't great, all you'd have is instrumental chops – and the songs here truly deliver. One of the best GED Soul sets to date! The Testify lineup is 10 piece fronted by singer DeRobert "Dee" Adams – also the voice of DeRobert & The Half Truths – who along with some fellow Half Truths in the group, making Sky Hi something of a GED Soul supergroup at this point. That's a great thing to be! Includes "Junkyard Dog", "Testify", "Over The Influence", "Love Is Real", "Mess", "Walk Through That Door", "Fell Short", "Get Yourself Together", "The Reason" and more. CD also includes the bonus "Do It Differently". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
