Earl Greyhound’s newest album “Suspicious Package” is bound to please fans both new and old. This physically and creatively multifarious trio, Matt, Kamara, and Ricc, do not disappoint, offering moments of 70s rock, Latin drums, heavy guitar riffs, and sexy vocals, with tracks that hint of influences like Lenny Kravitz and Led Zepplin cleverly strewn throughout the sophomore album. They’ve made classic rock contemporary, constructing an album monumental in sound and full of soul that has you grooving from start to finish. Sit with “Suspicious Package” for a period of time to truly take in the brilliance of Earl Greyhound’s lyrics and metaphors, as they sneak up on you like in a mystery waiting to be solved. -CM
