A killer R&B selection this year from the Manchester born, New Orleans Saints linebacker and three-time New York Times bestselling author. If there’s a comparison it might be drawn with The Supersonics, the last great act of The Sentimental Bodies, except that all that harmonium work is gone, replaced by a pure pop songbook filled with New Orleans charm. The overall effect is more chugging and live-sounding than the Supersonics, although there’s a marked difference in the emphases cast by the horn and the guitar.
