"This funk/soul/blues/rock outfit's fourth studio album in four years (there is also a live offering) finds them losing yet another key founding member in bassist Charlie Wooton. That's on top of replacing both original guitarists Mike Zito and Devon Allman on the act's previous outing, leaving only drummer Yonrico Scott and frontman vocalist Cyril Neville as original members. Regardless, the basic sound and structure of the quintet's tough, often swampy roots music hasn't changed substantially even if the personnel has".

"The Royal Gospel is a well-designed sermon. It's fervent in the beginning with messages of love and family in the middle. Then finally a uniting bonding feeling as you make your way out of the pews and back into the real world. The album should come with a paper fan and a guide to the hymn book".
