Lee Fields & The Expressions – ‘You’re The Kind Of Girl’

UGH. January. The prevailing sense of impending doom is too much. People on radio stations allude to it, social networks and conversations are awash with anti-grind sentiments. The wind howls and the rain batters. Just remember that it’s not real – the January doom is a bogeyman waiting to dissolve as the year grows up. You just need some brightness in your life – like North Carolina soul singer Lee Fields & The Expressions for instance.

Before the renaissance of Charles Bradley, there was Lee Fields. He made some notable recordings in the 1970s before the duo of Jeff Silverman and Leon Michels who make up the label Truth & Soul got him to record his first album since then in 2009 which was entitled My World.

In March, T&S will release the followup to that album entitled Faithful Man on MArch 13th. This is the first soulful cut from it. Bye Bye January blues…
