Jarvis Humby - Assume The Position It's...

If you take some sixties garage band sound, fold in a Hammond organ, and add a dash of R&B, you get Britain's Jarvis Humby. This album is drenched in the sixties but, somehow, they make it sound fresh. I know that doesn't make any sense but there you go. On their new album, Assume the Position It's..., they sound like the house band for an old Peter Sellers movie with tracks like We Say Yeah!. On the other hand, 99 Steps to the Sun reminds me of early Santana. Must be the guitar solo over the Hammond. Fun album and not a bad track on it.
