Chock full of soulful, bluesy, rockin’ tunes, another good one from John Black. The sound is definitely present day but also has threads of classic soul running through it. Instrumentation of gtr, bass, drums, keys. No FCC’s.

*My Favorites*: 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

1. *(3:54) Mid. Soulful vibe, upbeat, back vcls
2. (3:35) Slow / Mid. Mellow w/ nice keys, drums.
3. *(4:28) Mid. Driving beat, cool gtr, high-hat.
4. (3:31) Mid. Mellow retro soul, easy-going.
5. *(4:11) Mid / Fast. Rockin’ r’n’b, soul, killer gtr.
6. *(4:18) Mid. Easy-going, classic soul vibe.
7. *(3:43) Mid. Plodding beat, mellow.
8. *(3:20) Mid. Upbeat & fun w/ percussion, keys.
9. *(3:23) Mid. Funky struttin’, steady beat.
10. (3:56) Mid. Mellow, classic soul vibe.
