Magnolia Sons
“How Can I Get Over You? / Leave Your Troubles Behind”
I am, admittedly, a fan of throwback soul and R&B. Nick Waterhouse is a great example of someone copping an established style but continuing to make it entertaining with original tunes. Magnolia Sons falls right into that same category of creators. The influences are painfully obvious but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable to listen to. In fact, it makes it more enjoyable because you have a familiar touchstone to use as a jumping off point. So far the band has released a handful of 7″‘s and, frankly, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate format for their intentionally retro styles.
