If you like your southern rock a little on the psychedelic side, then Chris Robinson Brotherhood is a band for you. Servants Of The Sun is the band’s first full length studio album following 2017’s Barefoot In The Head. As a side note, this is the band’s last album with long time keyboardist Adam MacDougall. He left the band after it’s recording. This album in general is upbeat, funky and it feels like a good road trip record.
The record kicks off with “Some Earthly Delights” which features a nice keyboard riff in the opening moments. It really sets the tone and lets you know what you’re in for here. I also dig “Venus In Chrome” which is another upbeat track that features some nice playing. The solo that starts about 4 minutes in is a great example of the jamming this band can do. One of the early singles was the catchy “Comin’ Round The Mountain” and it’s the perfect road trip tune. Finally, I really dig the slower number “Dice Game”. This track has great guitar work and songwriting. It’s a nice change of pace from the rest of the album.
I highly recommend checking out Servants Of The Sun if you’re into trippy southern rock. This album has everything you look for in a good jam band record. I hope to be able to see some of these tracks live in the future. Servants Of The Sun is out everywhere as of June 14th, 2019.
