Singer and keyboardist Jordan Anderson leads with a soaring level of octave prowess and sonic range akin to that of other renowned soul acts like St. Paul & The Broken Bones or Brittany Howard. Captured by famed musicians/producers Robert Mercurio and Ben Ellman (both members of NOLA cosmic funk outfit Galactic) at Studio in the Country and Esplanade Studios, Motions is a record soaked in the freewheelin' ethos and sonic tones of a vibrant city that Anderson proudly calls home.

By the time Duane Betts began working on Wild & Precious Life his triumphant debut solo album he'd already spent the better part of two decades creating his own version of guitar slinging, story driven American rock & roll -- "It felt like the right time to make something that was entirely my own vision," he says. "This is a record that guitar players will love, but at its core, it's really a song record. It's an album about who I am, where I come from, and what I believe in."
Duane had spent 10 years playing guitar alongside his father, legendary Allman Brother Dickey Betts. He'd release an EP, Sketches of American Music and cofound Allman Betts Band.Even so, the need to create a full length solo LP gnawed at him; one that nodded to his roots while simultaneously pushing ahead. Following his instincts, Duane assembled Johnny Stachela, Berry Duane Oakley, John Ginty and Tyler Greenwell, and took up an offer from friends Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks to record at their Swamp Raga Studio in Jacksonville. The album was cut to 2-inch analog tape during a series of live studio performances in 2022.
