Liner Notes by producer John Burk:
Issac Hayes once said to me, “In the ‘50s and ‘60s, Memphis sat at the crossroads of music, with gospel from the churches, blues from the Mississippi Delta, country music from Nashville, jazz and R&B from New Orleans and Atlanta...it all lived in Memphis at the same time, and that’s the Memphis sound.” You can hear all of that and more in the sound of Southern Avenue, a family band who began their musical journey worlds apart.

Tierinii, Tikyra (“TK”), and Ava Jackson, grew up in a musical family. The three sisters, along with their other siblings, their father on guitar, and their mother as the band leader on the organ, made up their church band. Constantly singing and playing in church and at home gave the girls countless hours of making music together. In the early years, it was strictly gospel, as their parents didn’t allow them to listen to secular music until they reached their late teens. Halfway around the world, Ori Naftaly began playing guitar at the age of five in a small Israeli town, immersing himself in blues and roots music from an early age. Deeply influenced by the rich sounds of Memphis and the surrounding regions, his passion for the genre eventually carried the Ori Naftaly Band across the ocean to compete in the International Blues Challenge. That single invitation led to a life-altering move to Memphis, the city that shaped the music he had admired since childhood. Once in Memphis, Ori met Tierinii and TK, and their coming together was the birth of Southern Avenue. Shortly thereafter my good friend “Boo” Mitchell brought me to their show at the Memphis club, DKDC. I was struck by their talent and how authentically they were bringing that great Memphis music tradition forward, blending hill country blues, gospel and soul like no other group to come along in decades. I was also struck by their songwriting—soulful, uplifting and hopeful that they could make the world a better place with their music. In my view, this was a band worthy of following in the footsteps of such seminal family groups as the Staple Singers.

Over the years, I’ve watched the band continue to grow in every way, as songwriters and performers, as well as in their relationship to each other. What started out as friendship (Found A Friend In You) between young artists, became something much stronger when Tierinii and Ori were married and had their first child. Not long after that, Ava got her degree in violin performance and was free to join the band full time. Now Southern Avenue had truly become a family band. It felt like a bit of a homecoming when we all met up to make this new album at the legendary Royal Studios with Boo. After all these years, it was the first time we were all in the studio together. The casting was perfect, with Jeremy Powell on keys, Blake Rhea on bass and very special guest Luther Dickinson. The band came prepared with a truly inspired collection of brilliantly written songs, crafted in such a way as to create a concept album telling their story, but at the same time, somehow telling all of our stories. All that we love about Memphis music can be found in this album gifted musicians delivering the most authentic modern-day Memphis Soul, capped by tasteful, bluesy and rockin’ guitar solos, mind-blowing lead vocals, and harmonies that could only be created by sisters who’ve sung together for decades. That’s the Southern Avenue band, and this is their story.

Lyrics:
You may find it on a Sunday
In your favorite robe or coffee in your bed
And there it goes again on Friday
With a bass line you can’t get out of your head
And it sounds like
(Doo doo doo...)
It may be hard to believe
(Doo doo doo...)
Open your heart and you’ll see

Hey, darling
Ain’t no sense in letting hard times hold you down
Hey, darling
There’s so much
There’s so much love to go around
So much love around
(‘Round, ‘round, ‘round)
(‘Round, ‘round, ‘round)

You may find it in yourself now
Steady in the confidence you’ve always had
And there it goes again, you’ve got it
Pumping strong with every step
What you’ll give is what you’ll get

Hey, darling
Ain’t no sense in letting hard times hold you down
Hey, darling
There’s so much
There’s so much love to go around
So much love around
(‘Round, ‘round, ‘round)
(‘Round, ‘round, ‘round)

Hey, darling
Ain’t no sense in letting hard times hold you down
(No sense in letting hard times hold you down)
Hey, darling

There’s so much
There’s so much love to go around
So much love
