St. Paul & The Broken Bones Half The City LP/Vinyl

2014 debut from the highly-touted Birmingham, Alabama-based Soul sextet. St. Paul & the Broken Bones have already created a maelstrom of interest with their roof-raising live shows and self-released four-song 2012 EP. Produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes, and recorded and mixed in the storied R&B Mecca of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the album harkens back to the region's classic Soul roots while extending the form with electrifying potency. Half the City; vital, direct, emotionally affecting presents the same engaged, highvoltage, in-the-pocket sound that St. Paul and the Broken Bones produce at their live dates.
