“Let’s Live Together” is the magnificent sixth studio album from the seasoned New England blues-rock band The Name Droppers, that was officially released on June 12, 2026, by HMG Records.

The record kicks off with the clever and witty “Grey Haired Blues,” where Rifkin’s piano solos display a vibrant tone, making way for the title track, “Let’s Live Together”, a song that communicates a realistic optimism inspired by the stress of today’s news. Musically, the project stands out for its crisp production by Vic Steffens and the stellar sax contributions by Crispin Cioe (The Uptown Horns), whose horn lines achieve an unbelievable level in songs like the soul ballad “Don’t Cry Over Me” or the powerful, hypnotic “Watch Pocket”.

The band’s vocal versatility shines at its finest when blending with Simone Brown’s gospel backing vocals, reaching truly electrifying moments in their live performance of “Chain of Fools.” Far from sounding weak, the musicians deliver on an organic way classic blues songs like “Mannish Boy” to the rock-and-roll groove of “Love Lightning”, showcasing a seasoned performing maturity, polished through decades on stage, surrounding legends like Johnny Winter.

A recording that stands as an essential soulful one, proving that contemporary blues remains alive and kicking when it is delivered with genuine passion and instrumental mastery.
