You read YT comment section for this band & it's all "I'm (50,60,70 yo) and I'm SO HAPPY bands like this still exist!!!"

Like I've said in the past, I will only post music in The Lounge when I'm sure a lot of my fellow DU'ers will appreciate the tunes and artists, and it's not just the same stuff you've listened to for 30, 40, 50+ years

So stating that with a fair bit of certainly, I present a collection of (mostly) live, organic, without autotune, songs by the New Orleans musical collective, The Revivalists. These songs range from 13 years ago to 2 years ago. In another (better) era, these guys would MONSTROUS stars.

If you're the sort that likes to start with "something you know", the fourth song here is a cover of To Love Somebody by the Bee Gees

They've been around for over 15 years now and and still making excellent albums (though we're OVERDUE, c'mon David and Zach!!!)

Morning everyone, Happy Friday!

I took a listen and I liked everyone! Thanks for introducing me to them. I'll be looking for them again. They look like they are having fun as well.

I'm pretty much a Revivalists missionary, I've turned a lot of friends onto 'em

THANKS!!, so much! I’m loving these guys; I love their spirit….can’t tell you how much.

I’m inspired for my next protest sign: “I’m here for the SOUL FIGHT!

PS It’s been a long time since I’ve understood so many of the lyrics!

Soul Fight is pretty much their masterpiece (to date) in my book, such a great tune
