The Seattle-based band Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio have an exciting start to the new year ahead of them. The trio comprised of Delvon Lamarr, Jimmy James, and Dan Weiss will look to further explore their soulful style of retro-inspired jazz-rock on their forthcoming sophomore studio effort, I Told You So, due out January 29th on Colemine Records.
The nine-track follow-up to 2018’s Close but No Cigar will feature the previously-shared singles “Fo Sho” and “Call Your Mom”, and today Live For Live Music is excited to premiere the album’s third single which hears the band boldly cover the 1984 Wham! ballad, “Careless Whisper”.
Delvon Lamarr and company stick closely to the song’s trademark melodic makeup, with hints of soulful, even sexual undertones courtesy of James’ lofi-inspired lead guitar lines which play overtop the dreamy foundation of Lamarr’s 60s-era organ.
