Out of the sun-soaked heart of Adelaide, South Australia, comes a three-piece blues-funk-rock trio that's been honing their sound to a razor's edge since 2020, and with their newest drop, "Mama's Got You Right," 63 Deluxe proves that they're not just playing, but laying down music with fire and soul. Anthony Scott's vocals and guitar shred a fine line between sass and soul loaded with conviction. There's a grit, there's a groove, and, most important of all, there's a motherly warning swaddled up in rhythmic finesse.
Scott tells it as a truth you had known but needed to hear spoken aloud. "Mama's Got You Right" is reminding. Mama's been looking, and she's played you like a drum. On bass, Bret Hann deposits a deep, fluid groove that churns like the current in the bloodstream. It's the kind of funk that makes you dance without an invitation. Meanwhile, Jack Thomson beats it with the assurance and style of a veteran heartbeat, controlling the rhythm, pushing and pulling it like wax with masterful hands. As a trio, 63 Deluxe has created a laneway all its own, one that nods to the greats of blues but with the rearview mirror snapped off.
Their sound is heavy with personality, grounded in tight musicianship and raw emotion. "Mama's Got You Right" is a jam session that went spiritual, sweaty, angular, and completely real. This is a narrative, a recollection, and a feeling. The band embodies blues and funk, contemporary in its heartbeat but raw to the root, making it timeless. If you're a fan of blues or funking funk, 63 Deluxe just delivered your subsequent repeat offender. "Mama's Got You Right" reminds us that when Mama tells you something, you listen, especially when it grooves this hard.
