Editorial Reviews

2014 debut from the highly-touted Birmingham, Alabama-based Soul sextet. St. Paul & the Broken Bones have already created a maelstrom of interest with their roof-raising live shows and self-released four-song 2012 EP. Produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes, and recorded and mixed in the storied R&B Mecca of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the album harkens back to the region's classic Soul roots while extending the form with electrifying potency. Half the City vital, direct, emotionally affecting presents the same engaged, high- voltage, in-the-pocket sound that St. Paul and the Broken Bones produce at their live dates.

This white boy's got soul!

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

After seeing these guys on the CBS Saturday morning show, I checked their schedule online. I very rarely go to concerts, but do enjoy the experience more at smaller venues. Unfortunately, they weren't scheduled to come here, so I ordered the CD. While the music is great, I have to say watching these guys perform, particularly the lead singer when he cuts loose with his fancy footwork, and as much the fact that you don't expect that voice, that rhythm, that soul from a white boy who looks like he'd work in a cubicle on a tech farm, well let's say seeing them perform is as entertaining as the music. If they ever do come here, I'll go see them. These guys need more TV appearances.
As an aside: I hope no one is offended by my calling this guy a "boy." It is in no way intended to be derogatory of him or anyone else. It just seems appropriate to this white woman old enough to be his mother.

Half the City - a Rebirth of Soul!

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

This has to be a great record, somewhat in the old school vein of the old Motown, Chess, and Stax record days. Paul (the vocalist) can keep you interested in the same songs over and over while driving in the car or at home. His voice is very unique by today's standards, and I love it. (Think maybe Otis Redding and Etta James with a bit of Koko grind?). The engineering work, particularly the capturing of Paul's voice, and the resultant mix is really interesting. You can really feel the space in his vocals. The drummer is also fantastic, keeping things tight with a solid bass player, the guitar work is old school with added modern flavor, and the two different keyboard players are simple and yet clever in their voices (I particularly like the surprise 'roller rink '60s voice on one track). The entire band is good, no complaints here, (and of course there are some great arrangements here, of the songs, and the horn parts), but overall the vocal and the drums and bass guitar keep me quite focused and entertained. I highly recommend this record!!

Blues and R&B par excellence

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

I saw SP&BB on Austin City Limits and had to get their music. Paul truly has a unique R&B/Soul voice; a worthy addition to the R&B/Soul tradition. And the Band - truly superb gifted musicians all. The arrangements are beautifully and intricately layered and from "up and boogie" to "sit and stare", these guys know how to Put It On. I got into Besside Smith, Ma Rainey, and Robert Johnson because I wanted to understand the Blues (could never really connect) and why they are so highly regarded (I've also listned to Janis Joplin and Joe Cocker [love 'em both]. For me, St. Paul and the Broken Bones Bought It All Home - I get it (the spark is now a bonfire)! When I listen to their music, I'm in the midst of that tradition and can fully groove and appreciate the Blues and R&B. Keep up the good work SP&BB.

A nice listen, but a great live band!

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Formed in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2012, this band features vocalist Paul Janeway, who is a wonderful singer. I first learned of the band when I went to see the Drive-By Truckers in Atlanta a few years back. A friend that I was with had informed me that I was going to be surprised and excited about the opening band and he was right! They were fantastic! While this is a solid album, the band seems to struggle to translate the energy from their live shows into their albums. A nice listen, but a great live band!

Vinyl Review

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not the best pressing, but far from the worst. Slightly warped, but nowhere near as bad as the 4 copies of Sea of Noise that I tried before giving up. I don't think it sounds quite as compressed as one of the other reviews says, but it's still a far cry from a lot of my other albums. If you really love the album, it's worth it for $15.

Great Music Horribly Recorded

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is really great music, but the recording (on vinyl) is horrible! It sounds terribly compressed, with all the digital harshness we've come to hate in CDs. No soundstage or individual instrument differentiation at all through my high-end system. Ugh.

Gotta check them out!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm always on the look out for something different to listen to. When I first clicked on a video of this band, my window page had scrolled to the bottom of the page blocking my view of the singer. Next thing I hear is this AMAZING voice, without seeing anything! My reaction was comical. HOLY ROSES! This guy was old school, channeling some of the greats. If you want something to sit on the porch with a beverage to chill to, CHECK THIS BAND OUT! I bought the entire album based on just live videos of covered songs. I admit, I'm kind of odd at times. The music isn't so much to me as hearing the voice. If the voice reaches out and grabs me, it is all over. I'm hooked. St. Paul and the Broken Bones, reaches out and grabs you. LOVE LOVE LOVE the horns and classic feel. The music matches this voice!

Bought it on LP. Despite the fact that I noticed lot of background white noise, this album was made to be listen on LP, the soul spirit, the crying, the yelling of Paul Janeway... this album is a reference to anyone interested into the soul revival. Plus i'ts a 180 gram vinyl, which for some, means better quality.
