If you’re a die-hard Daptone admirer, the Scone Cash Players already have a place in your wheelhouse. Modern day Booker T contemporary Adam Scone and his Hammond-backing band have been riding the heat wave of 2018’s Blast Furnace for awhile, and today they tighten up their funk-soul sockets even more with As The Screw Turns.
