As per their reputation, Soulive is best experienced live. Watching Neal Evans's hands work in unison while handling double duty on keyboards and bass is always fun. He and fleet-footed drummer Alan Evans form the backbone of Soulive, and they provide a solid platform for guitarist Eric Krasno to wail. He ably obliges, adding blues-like presence to this particularly space-bound track. Krasno stays well within the margins here, allowing the Evans brothers to expand and contract the dynamics at will. The result is a very synchronous performance for a unit whose strengths are quantifiable power and psychic collaboration.
