While no new Son Seals album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1996 tour in Australia. This is the first studio album from Son Seals since bad diagnosis in 1996. ‘Spontaneous Combustion’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. If you want to hear real Blues, get this record now!
In Don’t Pick Me for Your Fool you won’t find any flashy solos. Mother Blues defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. No, No Baby is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Your Love Is Like a Cancer is possibly the best song Son Seals has come up. Voice of Son Seals in I Need My Baby Back is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Sitting Here Thinking is absolutely incredible. Every Goodbye Ain’t Gone one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Sun Is Shining have really caught my ear and imagination. Son Seals is hitting on all cylinders in Landlord at My Door. Trouble, Trouble is a gorgeous song and it grows on you. Don’t Lie to Me is a fine track on any terms.
