"Album opener "World Blues" is speedy and unified, a strong first track that thrives on a thick recurring riff while lyrically paying tribute to influential blues styles across the globe. HeartSoulBlood provides similar up-tempo numbers in "Rock and Roll" and "Groove On" before delving into deeper waters on its remaining tracks. First to reel in the snappy tempos is "Here It Is," a well-paced track with a strong backbeat that carries plenty of snap all its own. "Ritual" and "She's My Lady" follow as sweet tributes to a significant other, with occasional explicit inferences added for spice on "Ritual." Ending on notes of peace and community with "Takes a Village" and "Love and Peace," Royal Southern Brotherhood bring HeartSoulBlood full circle from their raunchy rock `n roll roots".
Something else!

"HeartSoulBlood charges past the typically static genres of funk, rock, blues and reggae like a farm truck between shotgun-blast rows of cotton, corn and soybeans. Push the pedal far enough down, and all of it tends to blend together in the rearview - just as they do here. How these guys came to this place is a story of happenstance and hard work. The Royal Southern Brotherhood have followed up their well-received debut with scores of collaborative dates worldwide, in between their main gigs. They've emerged with something more complete than before, in the sense of this album and of this band".

"It would be hard for anyone to make a better sounding blues-rock recording, kudos to producer Jim Gaines ... The emphasis is one tight performances of finely crafted compositions, and the current release features a greater emphasis on collaborative songwriting from the three principals and Scott and Wooton. Their melding of funky R&B, blues-rock, and Afro-Caribbean grooves takes a variety of approaches ... These brothers continue to lay a legitimate claim to a place among the musical royalty of the American South".
