Powerful eclectic singer, this versatile baritone faithfully represents the most classic blues and soul McDaniel captures on this excellent double album, the primitive essence of that musical genre and gets us closer on a very intimist tasteful way to a musical path he knows well The first cd is devoted to blues while the second one presents only soul music His intense but at the same time relaxed performing sometimes remind diferent great singers like Al Green, Joe Louis Walker, Barry White, Howlin’ Wolf and Marvin Gaye, he deeply admires This double cd perfectly reflects Al ‘Coffee’ McDaniel abilities as singer and guitar player together with the natural spontaneity and great feeling he displays Excellent arrangements and perfect background with a bunch of musicians who make everything sound in the right place on a cool tasteful effective playing
