Almost twenty years after his debut release, Calvin Richardson continues to deliver on point soul and with this Willie Clayton produced set, ‘All Or Nothing’ Calvin is at his best. Contemporary but with old school sensibilities this album will please his fans as well as people looking for new music with a timeless twist. The funky title track is a great dancer oriented opener, ‘Can’t Let Go’ tips a wink to Marvin’s ‘Let’s Get It On’ while ‘Love The Way’ is a sultry southern styled slowie. ‘Breaking It Down’ is a bluesy ballad that draws for decades earlier and works well with Richardson’s voice while ‘Holding On Can’t Let Go’ again borrows from Mississippi soul of old. Really strong album that will become a firm favourite.
