'The Cost of Living' by the Revelations

The Cost of Living is the fourth studio album from Brooklyn soul group the Revelations, set to be released on April 29. The album has a classic Southern sound with an urban take on hard times. Listening to it is like having a mint julep in Bed-Stuy. The Revelations recorded The Cost of Living at Willie Mitchell’s legendary Royal Studios in Memphis. It features five original songs and three covers—including a fresh take on the 1960s Isley Brothers classic “Why When Love is Gone.” With geniuses like Stevie Wonder and B. B. King in their fan club, a schlub like you has no choice but to put the Revelations' The Cost of Living on repeat.
