The Royal Southern Brotherhood Featuring Devon Allman and Cyril Neville

There was a time in the '80s when it seemed as if a different supergroup was born every day. You had Asia, the Firm, Traveling Wilburys, the Highwaymen. We could go on and on. Consider the Royal Southern Brotherhood, a group that features singer Cyril Neville and guitarist Devon Allman. Bassist Charlie Wooton and drummer Yonrico Scott hold down rhythm section duties. The band's new album, heartsoulblood, sounds like you'd expect it to sound. Album opener "World Blues" features some fantastic slide guitar and bluesy vocals. It sounds like the kind of tune that the group can turn into a vigorous jam when it plays live. (Niesel)
