Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, 'Put Me Thru' (Live At SXSW 2016)

On the Motown-tinged "Put Me Thru," Anderson .Paak does double-duty on the drums and vocals. The song gives ample opportunity for his band, The Free Nationals, to shine: Guitarist Jose Rios alternates between punchy chords and tasteful shredding, while bassist Kelsey Gonzalez plays gatekeeper to the song's ebb-and-flow groove.
