Critical praise for THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS’ Call it home: Vol. 1 & 2 [Of “Call It Home”] “…evoking the greasy rumble of Booker T and the MGs in the opening bars before channeling the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone in the soaring choruses.” [Of “Call It Home”] “A smooth, sensuous song, with a guitar part evoking a hot summer day, an organ that sends you to the front pew and a brass section that feels like something straight out of The Blues Brothers.” “…represents a new level of ambition…” “There’s something for everybody here, a fun-filled, funky goodie basket for all occasions.” “…sounds as if Sly Stone himself and Booker T formed a band that nobody knew about. It’s almost eerie how close to the soul bone is Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2, the Honeydrops’ new double set.” “A robustly satisfying double album celebrating the Bay Area quintet’s 10 years of graduating from subway busking to touring for Bonnie Raitt (whose husky harmony graces the title track), and the shifting meanings of ‘home’.” “Their sound is multi-dimensional—a toolkit of R&B, get-down funk, southern soul, delta blues, and zydeco that turns an ordinary venue into a vibrant dance party.” [Of “Starr Child”] “Wierzynski delivers his trademark breezy vocals and muted trumpet as the core band launches six minutes of trad jazz which blasts into avant garde outer space.” “Overall, it’s another great set of horn-laden R&B ballads, ranging from upbeat bangers to slower ballads, but always done with taste.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT CHRIS SCHIMPF, NICK MALLCHOK, ALISA PRICE OR CARLA SACKS AT SACKS & CO., 212.741.1000, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] OR [email protected].

Critical praise for
THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS’
Call it home: Vol. 1 & 2
[Of “Call It Home”] “…evoking the greasy rumble of Booker T and the MGs in the opening bars before channeling the
spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone in the soaring choruses.”
[Of “Call It Home”] “A smooth, sensuous song, with a guitar part evoking
a hot summer day, an organ that sends you to the front pew and a brass section that
feels like something straight out of The Blues Brothers.”
“…represents a new level of ambition…”
“There’s something for everybody here, a fun-filled, funky goodie
basket for all occasions.”“…sounds as if Sly Stone himself and
Booker T formed a band that nobody knew about. It’s almost eerie how close to the soul bone is Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2, the
Honeydrops’ new double set.”
“A robustly satisfying double album celebrating the Bay Area quintet’s 10
years of graduating from subway busking to touring for Bonnie Raitt (whose husky harmony graces the title track), and the
shifting meanings of ‘home’.”
“Their sound is multi-dimensional—a toolkit of R&B, get-down funk, southern
soul, delta blues, and zydeco that turns an ordinary venue into a vibrant dance party.”
[Of “Starr Child”] “Wierzynski delivers his trademark breezy vocals and muted trumpet as the core band launches six minutes of trad jazz which blasts into
avant garde outer space.”“Overall, it’s another great set of horn-laden R&B ballads, ranging from upbeat bangers to slower ballads, but always done with taste.”
