Ever consistent Soulman Lee Fields is back, this time on the Truth & Soul offshoot label ‘Big Crown’ but the change in labels hasn’t dulled his potency in delivering big ballads as in the drama filled title track ‘Special Night’, the pacier ‘I’m Coming Home’ the bittersweet, cavernous soul of ‘Never Be Another You’ or the infectious, stop start ‘Lover Man’. Similarities to the sound of Lady Wray’s recent offering on the imprint abound – in fact this is almost Lee’s accompaniment to the latter’s great debut – and the sundown soul feel is prevalent across the whole set. The funk dial hits the red on the clenched fist thumper ‘Make The World’, ‘Where Is The Love’ is another socio-funker while ‘Precious Love’ has that T&S summery soul groove. Unmissable return – sits right next to your Lady Wray album!
