New Music Monday :: Analog Son, "Sunshine" feat. Ivan Neville

Monday, January 9, 2017
Welcome to our first installment of New Music Monday, a weekly series highlighting Colorado-based artists and their unique contributions to the Colorado music scene. In the spotlight this week is our current Featured Artist, Analog Son, a band name that continues to be a personal favorite of mine and whose in-your-face style of funk beckons a great start to most anyone's week.
Black Diamond, the group's forthcoming record, was primarily recorded in New Orleans, Louisiana while bandmates Linit and Fairman were at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival earlier this year. Not only does the new record showcase both compositional and improvisational skills soaring to new heights, but it features some of the scene's heaviest hitters including Ivan Neville (Dumpstaphunk), Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Co, The Allman Brothers, Aquarium Rescue Unit), Nigel Hall (Lettuce), The Shady Horns (Lettuce), Terence Houston (The Funky Meters), Alvin Ford Jr. (Dumpstaphunk, Pretty Lights Live), and Joe Tatton (The New Mastersounds) just to name (more than) a few.
The featured track, "Sunshine" (below) includes the uber-funktastic living legend, Ivan Neville. Says guitarist Jordan Linit:
“Ivan Neville is a living legend who is a force to be reckoned with in the music scene. Working with him has been an unreal experience not only when Analog Son opened for Dumpstaphunk, but also his massive presence in the studio, From the Rolling Stones to Dumpstaphunk, all musicians, myself included, have been influenced by him for years. Having him sing a song I wrote is an experience I will never forget.”
Don't miss Analog Son's album-release party for Black Diamond on Friday, January 27 at The Bluebird Theatre in Denver.
