Following the success of 'The Soul Food Store', which topped the Amazon Blues Chart upon its release in Spring 2022, Matt Pearce & The Mutiny are back with a new live album, 'Soul Food Served Live'.
Blazing guitar, saxophone and the pounding bass of ‘Got A Thing Going On’ lead the audience into the soul fuelled delightfully upbeat soul rocker. And, in many ways, the tone of the whole album is set in those three and half minutes. Pearce’s guitar work is fiery and passionate, his vocal is raw and rocky, yet perfectly suited to soul and blues, the audience lap it up.
Matt Pearce says “So, why Soul Food… Served Live?”
“The easy answer is cos the band was really cookin’! When I heard the live recordings, they all sounded so great and the songs sounded so different from the studio versions, it just seemed like a no-brainer to capture this moment in time and share it with the world. Apart from the angelic Daliah, this is a totally different bunch of groovers that played on the studio albums. They added unexpected flavours to it that brought the songs to life, as did the wonderful audiences we played in front of. Thanks to everyone involved with it, and we’ll see y’all back on that road again soon.”
Other highlights on the album include blistering versions, ‘Promised Land’, ‘The Soul Food Store’ and ‘All The Gods’. An unexpected bonus track at the end in a soulful rocking version of Fleetwood Mac’s classic ‘Oh Well’.
‘Soul Food Served Live’ is an incredibly infectious listen that showcases Pearce’s ability to seamlessly blend multiple genres in a live environment into a vibrant mix of positivity and fun.
Best served loud and often!
