Synopsis

Album Description

"Industry Rule" is a genre-bending soul jazz-funk record, with hints of drum&bass and country music, a la pedal steel guitar. It was made by songwriter Jonah Smith and his band -- some of the best underground musicians in New York, with the assistance of the Ultimate World Mind Shaping Corp.'s Matt Stein, a protege of Bill Laswell. The record, although unknown to most of the world is gaining fast popularity in some of the finer lounges in NYC and when the band pops up for live performances, they are always highly anticipated and jam-packed.

"relatively unknown....jonah's got a cool voice that mixes Dr.John with Jamiriquoi and Donald Fagen into his own sound...smart funk/soulsome label should show some balls and sign this guy"

Incredible performer

"Dear all,I saw the band in NYC (Bar 55) and I can tell you that the songs and performance of this band is awesome. The voice is great and the lyrics excellent. I spent half a year in NYC and this CD reminds calls back the nights in clubs and bars and leave me somehow sentimental but with good memories especially about the luck seen them live. Treat your self and get this CD.Hope to see the band in Germany and that they get the attention they demand.Michael B. from Germany"
