Jambase article

The blues are about soul, and so is really good rock ‘n’ roll. It’s not just the chords being played. It’s not just the composition of the songs. It’s not just the lyrics that speak to the feelings in the listener. It’s all of these things combined and then some. The “then some” is the spirit behind the people playing the music. If you want to go see a good example of what soulful rock ‘n’ roll looks and sounds like, go see Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. Both wild and sweet, they kill it.

Nice piece on GPN . . . like the writer’s description of rock’n'roll too.
