Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating under a simple conceptual framework, the pioneering rock and roll band dedicates this entire album to songs named after women. The arrangements attempt to modernize their foundational, heavily swinging aesthetic, incorporating slight touches of the evolving, saxophone-driven R&B sound. It captures the legendary ensemble fighting to remain relevant in a rapidly changing pop landscape.
