So you brought me here
To this open road
By myself
My hands are empty
My feet are scratched and bruised
This body used
And it’s you
I know there is a reason
Why you kept me alive
All this time
And through parting waves
Led by your fire
I rose higher
And it’s you.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
