This new album from veteran bluesman Robert Cray sees him team up with legendary Hi players Rev. Charles Hodges, Leroy “Flick” Hodges and Archie “Hubbie” Turner on a funky blues excursion that was recorded at Royal Studios where Al Green cut most of his sides. Highlights include the swampy ‘The Same Love That Makes You Laugh’, the Al Green feel of ‘Believe In Yourself’, the stripped back, dark edged ‘You Had My Heart’ and the beautiful ‘The Way We Are’ – the standout track on the album. The hard, driving ‘Don’t Steal My Love’ sees the band going full tilt. Strong album for those into bluesoul and the playing and writing is exceptional for these stalwarts.
