Notes
This album has a great back story. While in the army Robert Finley sang soul and Rn’B in a band but when he returned to civilian life back home in Louisiana he found it impossible to make a living from music, so worked as a carpenter and occasionally performed solo for fun. After stopping work, partly due to failing eyesight, Robert has now produced an album – at age 62! So, a dream come true, but is it any good? Answer is a resounding YES, a deep soul album with Robert’s superb vocals (not dissimilar to another latecomer to the recording scene, Frank Bey) and a first rate band of Memphis musicians. Members of the Bo-Keys are joined by a who’s who of current Memphis players: Howard Grimes, Marc Franklin, Jimbo Mathus (who also produces), Al Gamble, Kirk Smothers, Reba Russell, Harold Thomas, Daunielle Hill. To top things off seven of the nine songs are Robert’s originals.
