The Reverend Shawn Amos breaks it down

"The Reverend Shawn Amos is a Los Angeles-based, chart-topping bluesman ready to turn any venue into a 1960s' Chicago blues club. His foot-stomping, harp-wailing performances, like tent revivals of yore, energize the faithful, and convert the wayward to the Rev's message of booty-shakin', deeply joyful blues".

"A small army of uber talented artists back the tracks, including the surviving members of Al Green's 70s rhythm section, and a string section reminiscent of B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone," and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" ... If you're a lover of blues, soul, Gospel, or simply socially conscious, you're gonna want The Reverend Shawn Amos Breaks It Down".

" ... the Reverend Shawn Amos treats listeners to a glorious mix of passion, outrage and hope buoyed by top-notch musicianship. Amos may have grown up in Los Angeles, but his collection of "21st century freedom songs" channels the spirit and music made in Memphis and Muscle Shoals during the height of the civil rights movement ... Breaks It Down is not only essential listening - it's an album that could inspire other blues artists to inject some politics into their own music".
