Or like the “kiss to a collar bone.” The Guitar riffs are electrifying and Nathan Pauls seductive saxophone playing brings the album alive. Each feature fits like a puzzle. Projects like this remind me why I started The Juke Joint in the first place. Check out the article recaping that amazing night!
