For more than 20 years, this Memphis club staple has mixed Southern soul and jam-band rock with jazz flourishes (and jazz chops), but the new "From the Bluff" is probably this quintessential live band's best studio effort. Produced by area icon Jim Dickinson at his Zebra Ranch Studio, the album features guest work from North Mississippi Allstars Luther and Cody Dickinson, sax ace Art Edmaiston, and vocalist Jackie Johnson, among others, but the ever-versatile sextet themselves stay at the center on a collection built almost entirely on original songs. The opening "Keep Smilin'" is sunny, catchy riff-based rock that demonstrates the band's ability to rein it in for a classic-style three-and-a-half-minute rock single. "Give It Back" boasts Crescent City rhythms underneath some Steely Dan-esque songcraft. "Down on the Bluff" and "Save Our Soul" are thematic bursts of laid-back Memphis Soul. The instrumental "Spartacus" is a flight of jazz-rock experimentation.
