Long Live The Duke & The King' captures the band's essence, a ramshackle travelling circus in which different voices tell different stories. Simone Feliceand Bonnie 'Bird' Burke remain the central architects, but it's a more collaborative project than its predecessor. Nowell 'The Deacon' Haskins' gospel-tinged lead vocal on 'Hudson River' recalls the greats of classic R&B, while 'No Easy Way Out' combines The Sensational Simi Stone's vintage soulful tones with a pop-orientated country rock sound that matches Felice's light-hearted description of the band's new sound as "Fleetwood Black."
Simone Felice returns to the UK in August for a full solo tour as well as festival appearances at GreenMan and Edinburgh. The Duke & The King are set to return to these shores for their biggest gig to date at London's Electric Ballroom on October 27th.
