简介
Live at the High Noon is the band’s fifth album, and first live album. The album is a combination of original songs off of their critically acclaimed studio albums: Real Life.:.High Fidelity (2011), You and Me (2004), and Soul Juice (2005), also including their rendition of the Earth Wind and Fire classic “Jupiter.” Co-founders Tim Whalen and Al Falaschi felt that this recording captured the amazing energy of the band’s live show. “It can be extremely difficult for bands to capture the high energy of a live show. Many times they fall flat. Everything magically came together on this album and the fire is there,...all the way through” Falaschi says. At surface level, tracks like “You Want It all, and “Tell Me” highlight the influence of 70’s horn-based funk and R&B on Whalen and Falaschi’s writing and arranging. But by the second track, “Whatcha Gonna Do,” fans of funk rockers like The Red Hot Chili Peppers will relate. Jamband fans of bands like Dave Matthews or Phish will love the incredible musicianship and extended solos like Whalen’s epic keys solo on “Rock Star.” If you can imagine Stevie Ray Vaughan backed up by smokin’ horn section and a freight train of a rhythm section, “Well Run Dry” will absolutely blow you away. From the horn interlude of “Knockin’ em Down,” to the instrumental horn feature “Don’t Destroy the Funk,” the crispness of the horn section has earned them the moniker of “The New Tower of Power” in funk circles.
