No matter how cynical a bastard you may be, every once in awhile a little Gospel charm is good for the soul. And for those moments, you needn’t look further than the country-fried soul of The Lone Bellow. Whether it’s the altar call of ‘You Never Need Nobody’ (check out the video streaming below) or the hollow shouts in ‘Two Sides Of Lonely,’ (or even a free download of their new Christmas jam, ‘A Little Christmas Cheer’) the Brooklyn-based trio plugs into an old tradition of Folk Americana, and brings it to life in a way that should help keep you warm this winter. The debut drops this January 22nd off Descendant Records. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
