How I Got Over *** Vinyl
Roots
Formed in Philadelphia in 1987, The Roots have developed a large and loyal fan base across 9 studio album releases including 2002’s “Phrenology” and 2004’s “Tipping Point”. They are famed for their jazzy, eclectic approach to hip-hop which is always performed as a live band.“How I Got Over”, which takes its name from Clara Ward’s gospel classic (made popular by Mahalia Jackson), is the Roots’ first new release since joining Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for a full time gig as the show’s house band. Grammy Award winners the Roots characterize the songs as “depicting the everyman’s search for hope in this dispiriting post-hope zeitgeist”.The lead single from the Roots new set will be “Dear God 2.0.” The track re-imagines the Monsters Of Folk song “Dear God” and features MOF members Jim James from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes and M. Ward. HOW I GOT OVER also includes two appearances from Grammy-winning soul man John Legend: “Doin’ It Again” a re-working of his track “Again,” and “The Fire,” an original song written for the Roots’ 2010 Olympic concert performance.
