Much as Matisyahu employs reggae memes to express Jewish ideologies, El Sobrante’s Saul Kaye takes a so-obvious-it’s-brilliant turn by using blues music to tell Old Testament tales. The two concepts fit together like the teeth of a zipper on this vibrant live recording, with a backing band that muscles emotion into Kaye’s narrative originals.
