Once again, the City of New Orleans is contributing a really great song—“Wish I Knew You” by their hometown band the ‘The Revivalists,’ proclaimed last March by Rolling Stone magazine as “One of the10 Bands You Need To Know.”
This song is Just. So. Good.
The content, i.e. the lyrics and the intent, is touching and real; the band’s style and delivery is intense. Definitely a cut above.
The song is also funky, groovy, and danceable and can trace it’s lineage to 1977’s Climax Blues Band’s almost #1 pop hit “Couldn’t Get It Right.”
“Wish I Knew You” is currently “Top 15” on Adult Alternative radio.
Formed in 2007, the band is seven men.
