This maybe blues based but it easily translates into great Rock and roll. I'm a musician. This is what I what my music to sound like, bluesy rocking guitar, gospely backup vocals, horn section, great dancable beat, great lyrics, great lead vocals. Love it. I wish music like this would enter the top 40 again. Love it.
