Classy
This is great soul-wrapped songs pumped up by sax and organ on
the opening three and including the title track, or pared to the emotional intensity
of just vocal with piano accompaniment as on I’m Giving In. Insects offer their night-time singing and a pedal
steel calls out in its own hear me in
another slow one, Quiet Company, when
Let’s Get Back does just that,
picking up the soulful tone and pace - and I do like its banjo and trumpet.
This to and fro of reasonably fast then slow continues
throughout, Last Surrender an
old-school soul ballad, and Who Are You
Listening To? the rockiest on the album – though a relative term. All are
graced by the honest and hearty gruff vocal of Canadian Matt Andersen who makes
each a classy few minutes of soothed to spirited listening.
