Gainesville, Florida’s 9-piece retro-soul and blues amalgam The Savants of Soul will be releasing their self-titled LP, September 18, 2020. SoS have been threading the needle, pinpointing the evolution of their sound to the city of Muscle Shoals, Ala., where they recorded the new album at legendary FAME Studios. Over the course of 10 days, the band recorded 14 songs with acclaimed producer Vince Chiarito (Charles Bradley, Black Pumas) and FAME resident engineer John Gifford III.
Losing someone you love is a nearly universal human experience, but one that can nevertheless feel impossible to get through no matter how many people have done it before you.

David Burchfield is out with a beautiful new song “You’re OK, It’s Alright.” Perfect for the current state of the world, the song brings some peace of mind to listeners. Even though it’s acoustic, it’s an anthem in it’s own way. It’s a song about carrying on and not only telling yourself that it will be alright, but believing it.
The song starts off with a soothing guitar that will captivate you right away. The vocals are soft and soothing throughout the song. It’s comforting to hear the message with this style of vocal delivery. The lyrics are haunting and deep going into the topic of a near death experience that happened to David Burchfield while riding a scooter in Colorado where he was attending graduate school.
