One of the best thing a band could ask from their studio work is that is makes you want to see them live, and Great Divide’s self-titled EP does just that. Listening to their brand of rock, which is somewhere in between the Band and the Black Crowes, really makes me wish I was seeing them in a bar with a beer in hand. Evoking such emotions is never a bad thing.

This EP came at the perfect time as well. As the weather warms, Great Divide is excellent for listening to with the windows rolled down. Personally, my favorite track is “Get Down.” With an ambitious title like that, it kind of has to be good.

Throughout the EP, the horns kept my head bopping as the voice of Teddy Grossman, with it’s soul, blues and rock undertones, bring the songs to life. Joey Gaon’s guitar wails all the way through, and the keys of Jeff Leibovich really round out the sound. Be sure to check out the EP, and the band when they come to a town near you. You won’t be able to resist. -A.S.
