Greg Packer - Shaker Song Soulbrother

Review by Terry Carney

Greg Packer's album Shaker Song Soulbrother is a remarkable piece of work that showcases his exceptional talent as a musician and producer. The album is a fusion of different musical styles, including jazz, soul, and funk, that creates a unique and captivating listening experience.

The first track, "Shaker Song," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its rhythmic beats and soulful melodies. Packer's skills as a percussionist are on full display throughout the album, but especially on this track where he uses a variety of shakers to create a hypnotic groove.

The album also features some outstanding collaborations, such as "Soulbrother," which features the smooth vocals of Jackie Gage, and "Funky Monday," which sees Packer team up with saxophonist Paul Desmond.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Lullaby for Izzy," a beautiful and poignant tribute to Packer's daughter. The track is a gentle and soothing lullaby that showcases Packer's sensitive side as a musician.
