Southern Soul Blues Celebration

CRITIC’S PICK: King George, Tucka, Pokey Bear, and Ronnie Bell are some of the names contributing to the slick, roots-influenced music that generously flies under the flag of “Southern soul blues.” But this is a far cry from the classic sound that long gone artists such as Bobby “Blue” Bland or Little Milton perfected. Still, at best, it goes down easy, especially outdoors, sharing with someone special and a few cocktails to enhance the mood. — Hal Horowitz
