The Curtis Mayflower— The Ship Is In A few years ago, the Curtis Mayflower put out an album titled Everything Beautiful Is Under Attack and I found it intriguing (and damn good)— enough to have written this: “Who are The Curtis Mayflower? I first heard of them through No Small Children, a trio of lady musicians I watched grow from an ember into a blazing fire (check out their music...

It’s been a long time since artists channeled the Band like the Curtis Mayflower does on “Death Hoax.” Yes, Craig Rawding’s voice can recall the warm timbre of Levon Helm’s, but the real link seems deeper. It seems spiritual. Just as the Band once did, this local act realizes Americana can be funky (“Shadow Mountain Worship Team”) and soul can be rootsy (“Cold Surprise”). But most importantly,...

Boston’s super soul (funk? rock?) band The Curtis Mayflower have flipped the script on The Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.” The band’s new single — “King of the Fools” — inverts the hot, fast pleading of the Temps Motown might with a chill, slow groove.
