Perhaps one of the straightest albums that Lorez ever cut – but still pretty darn great!

Sexy is right! Hank may have been a half-pint wonder, but he had a voice that was like no other – high and raspy, but with a fierce growl that made you instantly take notice. Plus, his thuggish aproach to vocals really put a bit into the vicious R&B tunes that he cut with The ... (Soul) read moreCD
