Retro-Soul music. Heavy on the horns! If Otis Redding had used Chicago as his backing band with arrangements a la Steely Dan doing a tribute to James Brown, it might sound like this.

Album Notes

Reviews:
"...delightfully jam-packed with classic 1970s funk and soul sensibilities. ...listeners of legends like Earth, Wind & Fire, Al Green and Sly and the Family Stone will certainly appreciate the relentless brassy attitudes, the sassy lyricisms and those definitively Motown beats. "
- Eli Chen, Buzz Weekly (September 9, 2010)

"Accomplished Jazz musicians have a sense of intonation, time and phrasing rare even in the best golden-throated vocalists. Cornell is cut from the same whole cloth and when he tells you a story you listen and believe. Sometimes he’s the guy across the bar and sometimes he’s sneering menacingly into your ear... His emotions run from zero to sixty but he is always consistently “That Guy” and you just want to hear more. "
- Pete Strobl, Bottom End (Jul 17, 2010)

"First up, I’m digging Groove Duke’s retro-soul single Stick Boy. It has an impressive horn section and a definitive funk feel. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t feel the need to get up offa that thing and dance every now and then?"
- Indie Spotting (Jun 10, 2010)

"Get yourself a copy, go find someone with an old mono sound system, preferably in the dashboard of a mid-sixties chrome-encrusted land-yacht and roll the windows down. Just don’t forget to floss because you’re gonna to be grinnin’."
- Pete Strobl, Bottom End (Jul 17, 2010)
