The California Honeydrops [2022] - Soft Spot [Tubtone Records] (Full Album)

At the start of Sep The California Honeydrops released a great double-sider "Nothing At All" / "Good Times" which were the third and fourth tracks from their then forthcoming album "Soft Spot" which is released in full today (7 Oct 2021). The other previously released tracks were "Takin' My Time" and "I Miss You Baby Pt. 1" with "In Your Arms" and "Tumblin'" being released as singles in the last couple of weeks.

They were formed in Oakland CA, busking in subways and consist of five core members led by vocalist / multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski (he's originally from Poland if you hadn't guessed) plus two to three more world-class musicians for each show.

To date they have recorded seven studio albums, three live albums, and two cover albums since 2008.

Their style crosses boundaries from roots, R&B, southern soul, Delta blues and New Orleans second line but their latest single is retro sweet soul in tune with Durand Jones & The Indications and others with that blue-eyed retro sweet soul groove such as The Sinseers, Thee Sacred Souls, Stan Taylor and many others emerging from California in particular.
