(March 20, 2024) If you were going to select a singer to take on a deep soul classic like “Break In the Road,” you could not do better than to pick Sierra Green. Green is one of the mainstays of New Orleans soul singers, and she’s been doing serious work in venues around the Crescent City as the leader of the band Sierra Green and the Giants.
Green has the chops and the history to sing a song that Betty Harris turned into a must-have for any collector of deep soul music and that has also been covered Susan Tedeschi. “Break In the Road” is the classic “you’re gonna get yours” song. Backed by a funk band sporting a full horn section, Green brings the kind of assertiveness and passion to a tune that finds Green letting her disloyal ex about this thing called karma.
