I just received the newest release, Time Is Coming , from Indigenous featuring Mato Nanji . Opening with a strong radio player, Grey Skies , Nanji and company, Jeff Martin (drums), Steve Evans (bass) and Jesse Bradman (keys)set the stage for a strong blues rocker. I'm Telling You , another track with strong musical hooks, adds a mild funk bottom and Nanji leads with certain vocals and fluid guitar lines.
