Parlor Greens

The second LP from the modern organ trio of Tim Carman (drums, from GA-20), Jimmy James (guitar, from The True Loves and formerly the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio), and Adam Scone (Hammond B3, from Scone Cash Players and The Sugarman 3). It's the followup to their 2024 debut In Green, We Dream and arrived on Colemine Records in early 2026.

The record sits squarely in the lineage of the great organ trios — Dr. Lonnie Smith, Charles Earland, Melvin Sparks, Brother Jack McDuff — but doesn't get precious about it. These are three road-hardened sidemen with their own bands, and they play like it: tight pocket, loose feel, no showboating. Recorded quickly and largely live to tape.

Cool stuff:

• All three members were navigating personal losses during the sessions — the album carries real emotional weight underneath the groove without ever getting heavy-handed
• The closer, "Queen Of My Heart," was written by Jimmy James for his mother shortly after her passing; the fade-out includes a tender conversation between them — the last recording he has of her
• Includes a Hammond-organ cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" that somehow completely works
• "Lion's Mane" opens with a direct nod to Horace Silver's "Song For My Father" before drifting toward Band-of-Gypsies-era Hendrix territory

Spin it for: Hammond-B3 drive, gospel-shuffle warmth, organ-trio music that takes the tradition seriously but never feels like a museum piece.

Standouts: "Eat Your Greens" · "Letter To Brother Ben" · "Jolene" · "Queen Of My Heart"
