Next: Soulive

Soulive follows up their 2001 Blue Note debut Doin’ Something with their latest effort aptly titled Next. As their first album of material was conceived for the studio, Next is a largely collaborative affair. Self-produced by the band, it features appearances from artists as diverse as hip-hop trailblazers like Black Thought of The Roots and Talib Kweli, soul songstress Amel Larrieux, and Dave Matthews singing Ani DiFranco's "Joyful Girl." They have also added a fourth member to the mix with saxman Sam Kininger.
