sam price and the true believers

Sam Price & The True Believers from the album Dragonfly available as a self-release (by Bryant Liggett)
The latest release from Sam Price and his True Believers is a textbook template of New Orleans music. While the Crescent City claims any and all genres as its own, there is a sound that describes New Orleans. Not strictly Cajun. Not Jazz nor Blues. The heartbeat of New Orleans is a mixture of all of the above. Feel good music for a sunny day, get up and dance festival set, where a funky organ bumps up against a heavy horn section backed by a potent rhythm section that plays host to sleazy swamp rock guitar riffs.
File Dragonfly in the section. The latest release from New Orleans staple Sam Price and The True Believers, Dragonfly is upbeat dance music that runs a wide-emotional range from good time dance cuts to songs sad and contemplative. Dragonfly opens with 22-seconds of beautiful Gospel vocals in “Hope,” giving way to the keyboard funk of “Nothing but Love”. “Old Jim Crow” comes is haunted with a spooky voodoo feel; muted trumpet and sung/spoken vocals, Sam Price stating ‘Old Jim Crow, don’t you know, it’s all over now’. “God Song” is a somber gospel ballad, lyrically questioning all the bad in the world and asking a simple question of the human race… ‘can we rise above’. The instrumental “Stand Up” starts with solo bass notes before the drums pound into place, immediately kicking into a Washington DC inspired Go-Go Music beat rounded out with funky keys and guitar.
