We’re expecting a big year from Bay Area soul/funk act Monophonics, who will release a new album –The Sound Of Sinning -on April 1. The band is known for their dynamic live shows and California fans will get a chance to see them in action tomorrow night at Harlow’s in Sacramento and on Saturday night at Zodiac’s in Petaluma.

Today, we’re pleased to premiere Monophonics’ stirring cover of ’60s soul classic “My Heart Cries” which was originally recorded by The Invincibles in 1965. The Monophonics are joined by talented vocalist Tiffany Austin on their rendition of “My Heart Cries.” Take a listen:
