The soulful debut from Chicago octet The Right Now features the powerhouse vocals of Stefanie Berecz, spot-on horns, and stellar songwriting. Chicago's The Right Now had soul fans' heads spinning with their 2010 CD release, Carry Me Home. The disc made airplay on Chicago's WXRT, got notices in USA Today, and has fueled non-stop touring nationwide. Along the way the band has performed with kindred spirits Otis Clay, Betty Lavette, Orgone, Nas & Damian Marley, and Mayer Hawthorne. Given the band's devotion to authentic soul music it was inevitable that the road eventually led to Stax Records in Memphis. Legendary Stax engineer Larry Nix (Issac Hayes, Al Green, The Bar-Kays, Alex Chilton) mastered Carry Me Home for vinyl.Why does vinyl matter? ''While almost everything has changed in the music industry, the act of holding a 12'' x 12'' sleeve in your hands, placing a record on a turntable, and dropping the needle on the LP hasn't,'' says The Right Now composer/arranger Brendan O'Connell. ''Carry Me Home isn't just an assortment of songs conceived for individual download. It's a record made how great soul records have always been made.''Listen to the needle feast on ''Ain't Going Back,'' the first track, and you'll know that O'Connell and The Right Now make aggressively authentic soul. Vinyl accentuates the warmth and punch of every measure. Lead guitarist Chris Corsale alternates muscle car rhythm with sublime conterpoints to O'Connell's hooks. The horns are fountain pen strikes on fresh paper. O'Connell's organ is an asylum of emotion. These are all platforms for Stefanie Berecz's vocals, a voice that balances restraint and full out leaps from the rooftop. These are songs written the way the greatest soul music has always been written... now mastered the very same way.For fans of: Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Amy Winehouse, Alicia KeysTracks:SIDE A: 1) Ain't Going Back 2) Nobody 3) You Will Know 4) I Could Really Hold On 5) I'll Get DownSIDE B: 1) Before I Know Your Name 2) Better Way To Live 3) Doing Nothing 4) Carry Me Home
