When the drummer was asked where he got his energy from , he pulled his glasses down and said "accounting is a hell of a drug" .

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio video - the Drummer This video - the Cooler Drummer

[@fabrigasan2150]

Anche il chitarrista e’ lo stesso e il locale originale dove stanno registrando , credo sia un negozio di strumenti musicali , bellissimo con le persone che guardano passando 👋🏻💁

[@Tomservoca]

It's just Dave from Accounting sitting in while he waits for a trial balance to run...

[@summerland6397]

And the guitarist

[@firstname7769]

In the Trio video, he had a meeting with the VP of finance at the World Bank. This video was recorded on casual Friday.

Listened to this while wearing a hoodie It's now a leather jacket

[@aalm7966]

Perfect

[@MrDeanDog91]

underrated comment xD

[@MrDeanDog91]

Altough given that they are all in suits, suit should be better than jacket :D

[@williamsherman6995]

I was hoping for a jacket, too. Halfway through this performance Rayban shades began to materialize on my face. I walked away with sick set of shades. Will be tuning into these guys more often... unbeatable sound.

[@geronimogerardot]

Fell asleep half way in (no fault of the music) and now stuck with a leather hoodie :(

[@stevegoodwin803]

I fell asleep listening to this and woke up wearing sunglasses in a foreign hotel room beside a gorgeous woman with $80,000 on the dresser. Thank you, True Loves.

[@guitarstevie2]

I love it.

[@SpadeandArcherBlues]

I'd be careful dude, with this kinda sound track it could just as easily turn out that you single-handedly robbed a mob casino and now have a hitman on your trail...

Damn. Bob from Accounting is beast, man. He’s back there boosting ROI, building equity, inflating the True Loves’ balance sheet using nothing more than GADP (Generally Accepted Drumming Principles).

A raise of those devil horns in the air MFers.

[@jean-mariechang7640]

yeah dude, it's my first impressions, very good qualities

[@Ncolasg]

I don't agree, I barely can hear the guitar, and when the baritone is soloing I barely can hear him, the others are too loud.

[@milkouille]

The sound of the bass

[@mojoleon2]

Perfect balance on my Pioneer SA606 tho bud ! :D

Yeah, count me in too. I have a shirt waiting for this moment.

We can't forget to give mad props to Albert E on bass. He's definitely holding down the pocket and keeping these grooves on pace.

[@joejacks7082]

I thought that was Michael Sheen.....

[@sigmundhightower1766]

YUP!!!

[@ColinCalnan]

Listen at 7:18 where he pulls out for a moment, and it feels like the whole bottom fell out of it!

It’s nice to see Daniel Stern playing a damn fine bass line.

[@j.f.greaney]

Nah that's my boy (never met him, it's a figure of speech) on the skins keeping it all square and timely.

[@Warrigt]

That intro to Sunday Afternoon is the answer to "When will the bass drop?"

[@robseybaby1]

David McGraw (Drums) and Jimmy James (Guitar) just blow me away, Loved them in the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, and they're absolutely killing it in The True Loves. McGraw is so in the pocket, it's unreal and JJ has tone and feel to die for. I think they could almost carry any band, so the fact the rest of the crew are awesome too, is just too much!

[@michaelehrhart9670]

Not enough love for the guitarist in this comments section...

[@kjones5723]

Jimmy James on guitar!

[@BrianSteggeman]

Jimmy James! Check out his other gig with the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio & thank me later. Dude plays straight into the amp, zero effects. That tone is all in that 60’s Silvertone Rocket and his fingers.

[@skipleft]

I thought guitarist,Jimmy James was trash and took away from real musicians

[@ignacioibanez6138]

He’s kindy the leader

[@samuctrebla3221]

This band coordination is tighter than new pants

And twice as slick.

[@Alliancelegacy]

Swell then!

So graphic, so true, xD

[@ametkemalidinov738]

have you heard the band called New Pants? I wonder how tight would it sound to you.

[@thecharli1574]

Just imagine...You're having a fairly average day on your way to wherever, and you happen to stumble upon these amazing musicians. And you get to listen to them LIVE as well. WOW.

[@jackkaczmarczyk2709]

Jimmy James is such a BOSS with the True Loves, you can see it's his home

He's also a guitar beast in Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio

I believe approx 150 views on this video are from me. Everytime i listen to this, i feel like an absolute boss. Can't help but strut. The True Loves = True Love. If you like this music, please buy their album, and support them. Also, hat off to the KEXP sound man, for being the man. This sound wouldn't be possible on a live performance without him. Good Job Sir!

Just go to Stoned Meadow of Doom on KZbin. Hundreds of Stoner bands to choose from. Redfang, Wolftooth, Elder, Kyuss, Samsara Blues Experiment, Liquid Visions. I could name another 30 probably. Check out The Melvins. Old school badass stoner group along with Kyuss.

[@tombrennan8729]

I want KEXP to put this on a CD and sell it to me, I bought the KEXP version of the DLO3 session and these live sessions are better (way better) than the original CD's the sound engineers at KEXP captures the essence of this music better than what the studio's do. (I think studio's are too careful? Too safe? Too clinical? something is off anyway...) This is what I want, come on take my money already !!!...

KEXP sound engineers constantly upstage studio recordings ... awesome !
