This three-man garage blues band was named for three African American prisoners questionably accused of murdering a white guard at Soledad prison in 1970. It seems like a bit of a bold name for a group of three white guys from Ohio. Name notwithstanding, the music does not dissappoint.
The Soledad Brothers had ties to the White Stripes. Drummer Ben Swank was roommates with Jack White for a time and Meg White dated Henry Oliver. On the Soledad Brothers first full length LP(their best), Meg played some drums and Jack White recorded the album.
This track has a methodical, brooding nature that is quite satisfying.
