Heartaches By the Pound - the Rosewood Thieves Sing Solomon Burke - EP

I loved the "Decker House" EP. These guys (and gal) have such a solid, natural '60s vibe (modernized but respectful), and they're channeling The Beatles without seeming to be deliberately trying, or faking it. All of the songs on this EP are...there is no other word but "awesome." The first time I heard "Home In Your Heart" I actually got a lump in my throat. I stared at my iPod in disbelief - literally I could not believe what I was hearing. I didn't think anyone made music like this anymore, and certainly not music this good. Outstanding!

I love this group and this album is great. I wish that they could make it to St. Louis.

I jokingly said this album was like a blenderized music version of awesomeness. Putting more thought into it, there was no lie in that first, rushed statement. Being a fan of both Solomon Burke and The Rosewood Thieves, my eyes jumped out when I saw this EP. If you are yet to know about one of them (Bless you!), it would serve as a great introduction. Everything about this EP makes you feel good. Can't stop playing it. It ends to soon.
