If you’ve ever caught LadyCouch onstage, you’ve seen how seamlessly the band mixes Southern-rock guitars, soul horns and hints of The Band and the Grateful Dead into a style that honors great songwriting and jam-band principles. Released in July, LadyCouch’s second album A Matter of Time features the vocals of Keshia Bailey and Allen Thompson on a set of soul-inflected tunes. Bailey’s lead powers “Limbo,” which rhymes “up-tempo” with “in limbo” and swings like pop gospel. A Matter of Time also rocks out with guitar work from Thompson, Grayson Downs and Clint Maine. If you’re a fan of swanky instrumentals, listen to the seven-minute track “Alpaca Suitcase,” which shows off the band’s range.
