King Snake and Icehouse labels bring us the first work of this excellent singer and piano player called Charles Atkins The album has come to my hands thanks to the great work of one of the best independant blues promoters, Mr Todd Glazer This album has a very special significance for Atkins, as he recorded it after his wife’s death Songs like Angel Heaven or This Christmas Day are especially devoted to her wife, Mary, whose spirit is also present along the whole cd Si this is a vibrant, emotional and even romantic cd performed with a deep feeling, which offers a well defined r&b, plus some gospel and moody-jazz Also mention a delicious horns arrangements
