The big, festive shapeshifting L.A. roots collective Dustbowl Revival comes out swinging on track one, “Call My Name,” of this self-titled Americana soul release. A high-attitude drum solo, a guy in the back howls, “Ohhh yeah!,” and we’re not in the Dustbowl anymore. We’re gone, baby, gone, in a hot maelstrom of rhythm-section swagger, wheeling brass, sassy vox, and emotionally honest and raw love stories. The album delivers eleven hot tracks, dominated by love-triangle funk & soul, tenderized with a nod to the unlikely possibility of true love – i.e. “Honey I Love You,” with Grammy Award-winning blues artist Keb’ Mo’ sitting in.
