Lake Street Dive: ace bass and cool song

[KK Jale]

[size=4]Just came across this song by a Boston band I'd never heard of… love the vocal, the arrangement, the nods to Jackson Browne/Aretha, and the bass by Bridget Kearney who also wrote the tune… [/size]

[size=4]Be warned, it's as hooky as fook! [/size]

That's really nice, thanks for posting. I love the Jackson Five cover that they do too. Oddly enough, this one makes me think of the Black Crowes - just their style.

Had tickets to see them at Bush Hall recently and promptly went and forgot until it was too late! Only other time I did that was to see Weather Report (with Jaco) at the Hammersmith Odeon years ago!

I picked up on them via the I Want You Back youtube but ended up really liking the Bad Self Portraits album.

I missed them in Brighton recently. I was introduced to them by my son buying me CD for Christmas.

I looked at going to that date but it seemed like it was part of the festival where you had to buy tickets for various gigs - about £50 or so - ddin't fancy that.
