I’m absolutely loving this
new album Here We Are from New Orleans-based Sierra Green & The
Giants. Green’s vocals are heavily-steeped in the MoTown sound.
Her band, The Giants are as tight as a band can be. For a bonus, J.D.
Simo is somehow involved too.
The record rolls out on a funky groove with “Can You Get to That?”. I love her buttery cover of Bob Seger’s “Come to Poppa” rewired as “Come to Mama”. Her voice sits among the Soul-singing greats. Being from New Orleans, it’s quite fitting to take on a Meters song. “Break in the Road” is that, and cooks. The way the horns tear loose on “Dreams” is a head-turner. There’s another couple of terrific back-to-back covers with “This is a Man’s World” and “He Called Me Baby”.
I highly recommend giving this album a listen. Sierra Green & The Giants are certainly a band to keep a watch on,

Apologies to those who enjoy seeing who the musicians are song-writers are on the albums I review. That information was not available to me at the time of the writing of this review. Regardless, give this album a listen. It’s fantastic!
