The Teskey Brothers are an Australian blues rock band from Melbourne, named after the two brothers who formed the
group in 2008: Josh Teskey (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Sam Teskey (lead guitar). The two other members are: Brendon
Love (bass) and Liam Gough (drums). They achieved two #1 albums on Billboard's Blues albums chart: Run Home Slow
(2020; their second album), and The Winding Way (2023; their third album). The Winding Way also reached #1
in Australia. Both Love and Gough left the group, with the brothers remaining as a duo. The Teskey Brothers' musical
style is of Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding. They play soul music, with jazz and rhythm and blues influence.
The Winding Way leads off the soul-driven "I'm Leaving" - pure soul in Josh Teskey's vocals. "Oceans
Of Emotions" (the second of five singles) definitely has the Otis Redding soul, just as heard on the first track.
"Take My Heart" (third single), is excellent slow-driven soul/blues, as heard on Otis Redding's "A Change Is Gonna
Come." "London Bridge" (fourth single) is another great blues/rock-inspired track. The Country-tinged "Carry
Me Home" is pure gold.
"This Will Be Our Year" (first single) is a good Rock-felt track, almost a nostalgic '70s sound. "Blind
Without You" is Country'ish with Blues. Simply great, magical. It later kicks into a great Country-Rock sound.
A song that the Allman Brothers could have recorded. "Rich Man" is an excellent track, compared to the soulfulness
of James Hunter/Sam Cooke. It has a dark part; as in The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." "Remember The
Time" (first single) is another great Soul/Rock track. "What Will Be" is a long track, ending the album -
another great Otis Redding-inspired track. It also has a touch of church gospel, towards its end.
The Teskey Brothers' The Winding Way is more of a Soul album. Many comparisons to the 1960s Soul acts:
Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett. The band itself sounds as if they were from the 1960s as well, as in the sound of
Stax and Memphis Soul musicians. The Winding Way is a superb Soulful album for your collections. The raspy voice
of Josh Teskey certainly grabs your attention, on each track. His raspy voice could be compared to the Black Crowes'
(another Brothers group) Chris Robinson. You can't go wrong with great Soul music, for the 21st Century. Their first #1
Blues album Run Home Slow will be reviewed at a later date. Stay tuned.
