![]() “Have a Little Faith” has a similar build, an unstoppable groove punctuated by horns, with Mosley’s voice wrapping up everything in his personal intensity. The track doesn’t sound dated-none of them do-but JD3 and the Jondo Trio tap into a hard-rocking bluesy sound (think Guns n’ Roses or Buckcherry) you don’t hear nearly enough anymore. ![]() Contemporary crunch on the guitars and uptownish, perhaps midtown, blues horns, with Mosley’s voice floating between times, an old-fashioned growl working an optimistic chorus that would have been a huge single in the 1990s. So on a song like “Restless Soul” you get a little bit of everything. It works well against the blues-based beats, especially the tracks featuring horns, as it becomes a joyful mix of old and new, a modern energy over vintage song structures. Helping things is that singer/guitarist Nate Mosley has a great voice, Jim Morrison meets Eddie Vedder, with a spooky blues grit that feels anchored in modern rock and roll. Something Good rocks with an easiness that doesn’t feel dumb, with moments of instrumental flash that quickly return their energies to the album’s main objective: groove. JD3 and the Jondo Trio is fun southern blues party rock and while that genre seems like an easily-checked box, it’s actually surprisingly hard to do well.
