Review

The solo debut from the leader of the Subdudes is a study in eclectics, a mixed-genre body of work that ranges from countrified blues to Louisiana funk to comfortable country-rock, with a brief ending flare of free jazz ("Somebody Got Caught," if you're wondering). There's a bit that sounds a lot like Eric Clapton ("Mothers") and a couple of R&B-flavored numbers (the title track and "Hold On," in particular). All in all, it's an impressive showcase for a talent that's been nurtured by a 20-plus-year career. Since Malone cites rock, soul, and country as major influences, the strange brew that is Soul Heavy shouldn't be too surprising, and since he's from New Orleans, the strong swamp inflection here is not unexpected, either. This is a fine example of how musical influences can combine to form a distinctive whole. --Genevieve Williams
