So I randomly stumbled across a new band the other day (new to me at least). Maktub, a group out of Seattle. They conjure up memories of Prince and Al Green. They hold a place above my other 90s guilty pleasure as Eagle Eye Cherry and strikingly resemble some Jamiroquai minus electricity. I enjoy this entirely inappropriate Michael Deeds of the Idaho Statesmen album review (especially because he's from IDAHO:
"Guitarist Thaddeus Turner blazes through a porn-filthy solo that burns like blisters. Just as the momentum climaxes, Watts spontaneously combusts just as someone shoves him over a cliff. It's brilliant stuff.
Reggie Watts, the lead singer, has an unforgettable afro and some sweet pipes. I'd recommend starting with "Say What You Mean". If you don't like it you can certainly put some of the songs on a mix-tape for your favorite lady friend. "Hunt You Down" is pretty much everything i look for in a pop song. The Lumberjack would appreciate that.
