We've loved the
music of Lee Fields for many many years – but these days, he seems to be sounding even better than ever – taking all
of his decades
of experience in soul
music, and blending his deep soul roots with an even more mature, open sort
of style! And even though Lee's early work was great, we never would have imagined the greatness he can hit with a record like this – a set that draws on so many currents
of classic soul, but finds a way to make a statement that's totally personal, totally original, and totally out
of sight all the way through! Fields has a fantastic raspy vocal style, but he never just lets that stand as his calling card – because he's really bringing new inflections, new inspirations to the
music – all while working with superb backing from Leon Michels and The Expressions. If you can imagine Hi Records mixed with James Brown mixed with New Jersey soul mixed with Daptone mixed with The Impressions – then you've only got part
of the multi-faceted genius
of this set. Titles include "Two Faces", "You're What's Needed In My
Life", "Love Prisoner", "Will I Get Off Easy", "It Rains Love", "Love Is The Answer", "A Promise Is A Promise", and "Blessed With The Best". CD features the bonus track "Don't Give Up".
