Mighty Sam McClain never stops working and surprising listeners with new proposals as well as original, unique, different and high quality recordings, as also does charismatic and amazing Norwegian guitarist, harmonica and piano player Knut Reiersrud who also produces and plays in the cd The album has a superb recording quality, with some very inspired string and horn arrangements The production has taken into account the minimum details, to get a clean pure crystal sound The recording brings us soul, blues, rhythm and blues and ballads The musicians work is perfectly teamed and sounds as a precise engine with no place for improvisation Mighty Sam develops an exquisite vocal work and displays it as few artists can do now, thanks to the huge experience this singer has gathered after a lifetime devoted to magnify Afroamerican popular music His velvety voice is deep but, at the same time, full of colourful nuances All the twelve songs lyrics tell us about his childhood, the quite wild way he grew up but especially describe most of the good and bad experiences life has brought him and he does it in a way that he often gets to move the most hardened hearts
