If you’re a fan of Motown and soul music, you might want to give a listen to Durand Jones & The Indications. Their sound reminds me of the music of Curtis Mayfield, Jackie Wilson, and The Impressions. American Love Call opens with “Morning in America,” a song the problems of contemporary American life. I also liked “What I Know About You,” a love song that reminded me of Marvin Gaye’s great songs. “Sea Gets Hotter” features a bossa nova groove. “Long Way Home” will grab you with its funky bass line.

Durand Jones demonstrates his versatility by shifting from soul songs and emotional ballads. The Indications provide harmonies and a smooth backup to these very listenable tunes. GRADE: B+
