In the Balance
This is a beautiful album of sweet soul, knowing lineage in the excellence of its originals, and, sadly, has a tragic backstory with the passing of its frontman Chadwick Murray in September 2021, just after the birth of his first son who he never got to meet.
Not a tribute album as such but certainly covers that with a genuine depth of talent preserved in these recordings. All the soul touchstones are evident in the listening so do not need my signalling.
I would assume it is obvious that I have gleaned these details from reading others’ detailed information and revelations, but it is a genuinely moving story and the music stands entirely on its own as memorable.
