Eastside Radio’s Album of the Week: Aug 2 – Aug 9
Eastside Radio’s Album of the Week is About Time by Pat Powell on the Bamboozle Music label.
About Time speaks to the heart of your favourite soul music, then takes twists and turns through romantic blues ballads and Motown funk via the deep south. Underpinned by the unfailing vocals of Australian artist Pat Powell (vocals for Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Kylie Minogue and countless others) the album meanders through gospel inflected harmonies reminiscent of the Staple Singers, powers through funk horn pieces worthy of a Sharon Jones set, then settles into organ-driven grooves and Jamaican upbeat. Easy on the ear but with a lot more sass than your average fare.
