Rise Up Review



Jim Duff' and The Necessities' newest CD, Rise Up. is a rich blend of roots, blues, funk and country rock. Drawing from this panoply of sounds, they have given us a fresh and meaty collection of songs from the title cut, Rise Up, to songs coming out of Duff's day to day experience like Waiting on the Check, their is a real smoothness that might be expected from a far more seasoned musician. Well worth it, Rise up is chocked full of rooted tunes. Familiar, but fresh.
