HeavyDrunk (from the album Holywater available on 4142 Music)
Sitting just under double-digits, Nashville, Tennessee’s HeavyDrunk feature nine players backing songs that move through a diversity of styles on the recent release, Holywater. HeavyDrunk glide on smooth Southern Soul (“Pick You Up Along the Way”) and get caught in the undertow of a thick funk groove (“Walking to the Mission in the Rain”) as Holywater features Jazz-inflected love songs (“High on Love”), the heavy beat of Gospel Blues (“Shine On”), and slinky Soul (“I Can’t Be Satisfied”).
 
HeavyDrunk frontman and leader of the band, Rob Robinson lets his voice be the flame, his words lighting a fuse with opening line ‘I grabbed her by the hair of her head and drug her across the Piggly Wiggly parking lot’ as the mighty groove of “If I Loved You Hard Enough” drags you in and under its spell. HeavyDrunk borrow from peers in the jam genre of blending Blues, Rock, Gospel, Soul, and Funk with covers of Tedeschi-Trucks Band “Midnight in Harlem” and The Rolling Stones “Slave”. Marrying band name and album title “HeavyDrunk Holywater” floats across a Blue Jazz musical dreamscape while HeavyDrunk broadcast sweet Soul music as they play a song for “Memphis”.
