Album Notes & Community Reviews

Backed by the legendary FAME Studios rhythm section in Muscle Shoals, the blind soul singer's debut is an absolute masterclass in Southern R&B. Featuring the colossal hit 'Slip Away', the album perfectly showcases his trademark earthy baritone, infectious grooves, and wry, down-home lyrical narratives.
