The world the Gamble Brothers Band articulates on this intriguing record—in the working man’s anthem “Overboard,” about the ongoing act of trying to keep one’s head above water, as well as songs like “Hold Out ‘Til Monday,” “Back at School,” “Heart’s Not in It” and “Shopping Cart” — will be readily familiar to most listeners, because it’s the world we live in today. These themes yanked from everyday life in contemporary America interact wondrously with the gritty grooves and smoky feel they’ve carried forward from the ‘60s and ‘70s R&B records on which they’ve based their sound. This is their best work yet, no doubt about it.

Back to the Bottom, the Gamble Brothers Band’s much anticipated sophomore release breathes new song into the heart of Memphis music. Dubbed “Modern Southern Soul”, you can undeniably reminisce the soul and depth of Stax while rejoicing the advent of new Memphis talent. Patrick Crane of Loud Magazine says, “…one thing that will restore your faith in humanity, it is discovering there are bands out there more interested in carving out a sound rather than chasing one…”

The Gamble Brothers Band’s debut effort, 10lbs.of Hum, did just that, got the buzz humming while honing a signature sound to make anyone groove. Hal Horowitz of Blues Revue says, “Mixing funk, R&B, jazz, pop, and some blues, the guitarless [sic] quartet percolates with soulful strut.”
