Old-school soul and r&b gets a welcome infusion of youthful spirit and drive from this rock-solid, savvy Memphis quintet. Vocalist Tierinii Jackson provides the necessary fire and punch up front while guitarist Ori Naftaly steers the band through deep soul waters with authority.    Highly convincing originals including “Love Me Right” and “What Did I Do” stand up firmly alongside the Ann Peebles gem “Slipped, Tripped and Fell In Love”.
