[RATING: 5] That male yang to Sharon Jones’ yin, evergreen funk-soul brother Lee Fields is shortly to return with full-length album, Special Night, on label of the moment – Big Crown Records. Before he does so, here’s the second single and hot damn it’s a storming slab of stomping funky soul, featuring righteously vintage-sounding production and Fields belting out a message about making the world a better place. A message more pertinent this year than in many a long year. When the wax is out, expect the instro on the flip.
(Out now on digital/ 11 November on vinyl on Big Crown Records)
