Song Of The Week: The Great White Jenkins "Wind"
My musical tastes have taken such a turn that at this point what I'm most looking for in a band is hard to pinpoint. In fact it's that unclassifiable sound that is now what I'm drawn to. The Great White Jenkins have that sound in spades (whatever that sound is). On their MySpace page they call it soul-folk. The excellent music blog Catbird Seat called it “Jake-Legged, Brokedown, Spiritual Soul Revue” just the other day.
Why all this talk of The Great White Jenkins? Because they've just released a new EP titled Mussel Souls and are about to commence on a massive tour. Before the tour kicks off though members of this Virginia based band will be joining Ken Vandermark and playing under the name Fight The Big Bull at The Hideout on April 16 for an Immediate Sound show. I'm not sure exactly what that'll be like, but that's half the fun of music these days.
Here's the song "Wind" from the new ep Mussel Souls.
