Album Notes & Community Reviews

Demonstrating the seamless evolution from gritty urban blues to polished Southern soul, this record heavily utilizes sophisticated brass arrangements to frame the vocalist's iconic squall. The smooth, almost crooning delivery is punctuated by moments of intense, gospel-derived testifying. The album solidified his standing as one of the most sophisticated interpreters of deep emotional heartbreak.
