Impressions on the first listen was that Eli "Paperboy" Reed should have stuck to his paper round.
It's not that bad though, but comparing him to the likes of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Sam Cook is stretching it a bit.
'The Satisfier' sounds like it was lifted straight from Redding's 'Hard to Handle', but the 'Doin' the Boom Boom' track was brilliant.
Loved the band and it's good to see the upright bass isn't completely dead along with that brand of R&B.
Wouldn't mind hearing more.
