Around him, The Vintage Explosion build a sound that respects the past without becoming trapped in it. Rather than simply recreating another era, they take its spirit \u2014 strong melodies, rhythm, direct songwriting and soulful performance \u2014 and give it a contemporary sense of purpose.<\/p><p data-start=\"1344\" data-end=\"1811\">That is perhaps the most appealing thing about <em data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1406\">Life and Soul<\/em>. It sounds immediately accessible to anyone who loves classic soul, blues and rock, yet it never feels like music preserved behind glass. Tracks such as <strong data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1635\">\u201cI Can\u2019t Get Enough of Lovin\u2019 You,\u201d \u201cLife and Soul,\u201d \u201cThrough My Veins\u201d<\/strong> and <strong
