There are a lot of seriously good releases this week.

Michon Young returns with ‘Love Life Experiences vol 2’  and it is another quality soul album from the contemporary soulstress.
Michael Franks is back on form with his best album in years ‘The music in my head’ .
Southern Avenue are a self contained band with a female singer from Memphis and their self titled debut album on Stax is a real throw back to the Stax sound of the 60’s and 70’s.  Citrus Sun have a good summery jazz-funk album from Bluey and Jim Mullen and there are also good albums from Stanley Clarke and Chris Standring.
Millie Jackson is ‘Uncovered’ by producer Steve Levine who has remixed many of Millie classics in a slightly different but complementary way to create a very strong album.
