I'm Comin' Home

Hey there, Zoo Freaks, let's groove into some cool vibes about this tune "I'm Comin' Home" from Royal Southern Brotherhood's album "The Royal Gospel." Dig this, from what we've gathered from reviews and chats around the scene, the song is one of those original jams co-written mostly by Cyril Neville, bringing that soulful rock energy with positive messages that lift you up, even if the titles feel a bit familiar like old friends. It's part of an album recorded live in just seven days down at Dockside Studios in New Orleans, capturing that raw, swampy roots sound that makes you wanna sway.

And get this, folks, social media posts from the band's X account were buzzing when the album dropped, sharing how "The Royal Gospel" climbed to number one on the Roots Music Report's Top 50 Blues Albums chart, and even debuted at number seven on Billboard's Blues chart. They gave a shoutout to Blues Blast for praising the tenacity behind the record, showing how this music keeps the fire burning in the blues world. No big wild stories popped up in interviews, but the tune fits right into their message of standing strong and coming back home with heart.

Now, shifting gears to how Royal Southern Brotherhood came together, it all sparked in 2011 right in the heart of New Orleans. The idea came from their manager Reuben Williams, who saw the magic between Cyril Neville and Mike Zito after they teamed up on a track called "Pearl River." Zito then brought in Devon Allman, and though there was some friendly rivalry from their St. Louis days managing a guitar shop, they clicked quick—co-writing songs over email and rehearsing in no time. With Charlie Wooton on bass and Yonrico Scott on drums rounding out the crew, they debuted live at the Rock 'n' Bowl, blending blues, rock, and that family legacy vibe from the Neville and Allman lines.

Over the years, the lineup evolved with some changes, like bringing in guitarists Tyrone Vaughan and Bart Walker for later albums, but the spirit stayed true to those southern roots.
