Soul City Live Track-by-Track Review

You Never Know – Sawyer’s EP-opening track is captivating. It is quite refreshing to hear the group’s organic sound and harmonious vocalization. We are immediately grabbed by the superb vocal performance of Jacob Sawyer and the band. Listening to You Never Know, I am reminded of the impactful legacy of singers like Dion DiMucci, Smokey Robinson, and Frankie Valli.

Down Motown – Released as the first single off this EP, Down Motown is a very invigorating rock tune that is drenched in soul music Sawyer possesses a keen ear for charming rhythms and delivers this intense gem wrapped in the nostalgia of a timeless age. This song is highly energetic and is well accentuated with its tantalizing bassline.

We really get to appreciate not only what Sawyer has to offer vocally, but the exceptional quality of the instrumentation that runs throughout the entire EP. The track carries overtones of the blues into its musical landscape. The group’s ability to score some great harmonies over a rock driven landscape is truly admirable.

Hey DJ – Following a different method than that of the previous three songs, one which curtails to a taste of the progressive rock genre. Hey DJ provides an excellent conclusion to a perfectly masterful project. The riveting sounds of electric guitar and flaring drums make this upbeat ride a drive along the road to success. Rock purists will enjoy the call and response vocals towards the conclusion of the track as well.
