Living Voice

At Barsuk Records, they sure love the boy girl duos/couples. Their flagship in this category is Mates of State. Just behind them with a guitar rather than the electric keyboard/organ, is the Muscles Shoals/Flo' Town (that's Florence, y'all) via Nashville then Portland duo of Viva Voce. With one dude behind the drums and one lady with the guitar up front, they crank out the bluesy rock. It's kind of like full albums of "When the Levee Breaks" but not really...
They must have a new album coming out soon, b/c I stumbled upon a new Mp3 - "Devotion" (DOWNLOAD). Usually, these two sing together. Here drummer joe takes the vocal lead....eh? I like the girl. Check out "From the Devil Himself" off their last one for a better taste. We'll see how this one shapes up....

"From the Devil Himself" rocks...
Go Bama Go!
