Gone are the alt-country trappings of those earlier discs, replaced by a sound that focuses squarely on sixties pop of the Stax and Brill Building varieties. Ably abetted by two excellent singers (<strong>BettySoo<\/strong> and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2012\/11\/07\/album-review-akina-adderley-the-vintage-playboys-say-yes\/\"><strong>Akina Adderley<\/strong><\/a>, the latter a scion of<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/tag\/cannonball-adderley\/\"> jazz royalty<\/a>) and a superb group of musicians that includes <strong>Pete Thomas<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2013\/01\/07\/im-in-the-fan-club-a-conversation-with-jellyfishs-roger-manning-part-one\/\"><strong>Roger Manning<\/strong><\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/2015\/01\/09\/album-review-jellyfish-bellybutton-and-spilt-milk\/\"><strong>Jellyfish<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>Moog Cookbook<\/strong>) and <strong>Lyle Workman<\/strong>. Faye&#8217;s songs never fail to evoke the sound and aesthetic of classic girl-group and southern soul. Yet somehow the album never feels like an overt pastiche; when they sing about giving a guy the go-ahead (\u201cGreen Light\u201d) or love in general (\u201dSweet Little Messages\u201d), Charlie Faye &amp; the Fayettes sound like they mean it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: Nancy Sinatra, Dusty Springfield, Burt Bacharach Though she&#8217;s previously released two albums and an EP under her own name, Austin&#8217;s Charlie Faye has engaged in a radical [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,51,65],"tags":[142,2758,2756,2757],"class_list":["post-11054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-release","category-pop","category-review","tag-akina-adderley","tag-bettysoo","tag-charlie-faye","tag-fayettes","cat-49-id","cat-51-id","cat-65-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11054"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11057,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11054\/revisions\/11057"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
