    Roth fits Hunter like a glove, bringing out the warmth of his brass section and framing his raw voice in perfectly judged R&B arrangements that spark and bounce.

    The vivid nostalgia remains, with these all-original cuts sounding like they could easily have been laid down back in the golden ages of the 1950s and 60s.

    Yes, the production is grand, the band tight, and the songs are clever, but Hunter’s voice is the main attraction here. He sings with an ache that never breaks, even though he always seems to be reaching for a note just out of range.

    He still sings very much from the heart, though, and the result is altogether awesome. [Apr 2013, p.94]

    I'm not usually particularly interested in this genre but this album truly blew my mind. It's an instant classic with each track insanely catchy. Do yourself a favour and check it out. I give you my personal guarantee you'll love it. :P… Expand
