Memphis' own The Bo-Keys picked up a nice mention in Monday's USA Today as "Got to Get Back (To My Baby)," the title track of sorts to the band's new album, was named "Pick of the Week" on the newspaper's Playlist feature. The band is set to play a free show Saturday at the Levitt Shell at Overton Park to celebrate the release of the Got to Get Back! long-player. Here's what USA Today had to say:

There's a Part 1 and a Part 2 of this sweaty plea from the new Got to Get Back! album by the Memphis studio vets. Otis Clay offers guest vocals here; elsewhere, Percy Wiggins and William Bell do the honors. And the Bo-Keys play the perfect hosts for these overlooked dynamos from soul's golden era.
