LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Gulf Coast Bound explores new connection between latin music and mainstream blues. The fifth album from the Bronx combo is an excellent improvement, retaining John Liello's vibes and percussion and pianist Eric Justin K a key role. Blue-eyed soul jam in the vein of Steely Dan, Traffic or early Chicago give way to a series of prominent numbers.
