I wish I didn't have to post this and everyone in the world just knew who Lee Fields was and that would be that. But, it's not the case.To be honest, I don't know much about this dude other than for at least the past year I've been loving the shit out of this. He's got some sweet Canadian distro now too and that re-release has songs that aren't on this version.
I know he's sung duets with Sharon Jones, and if you don't know who she is, well... you might just be musically retarded or not yet enlightened. I'll go with the latter since I may not know you well enough to insult you yet.
Anyway... Lee is quite simply the best R&B singer in ages. I'm talking classic soul. Actual emotion. Fuck modern R&B and it's shitty vocal runs or auto-tune and shit like that. Lee speaks the truth and sings it too. The Expressions are as tight as anything Daptone can pump out (see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings). There's a secret soul revival going on right now that's pretty quiet, but to those who know, it's shouting quite loud and clear from every stage/podium/whatever, available. Lee is near the forefront of this movement.
Lee Fields will move you.
