Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Hunter's lyrics, as always, revel in the quiet wonder of romance, their imagery and wordplay pretty much timeless.", "This follow-up to PEOPLE GONNA TALK re-renders the art of musical seduction even more convincingly than Hunter's mentor Van Morrison.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With songs that recall the likes of The Drifters, Robert Parker and even early James Brown. A sweetly soulful singer and spiky guitarist too...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The singer/guitarist once more melds the gospel tones of Sam Cooke with the R&B flamboyance of the Five Royales and T-Bone Walker.", Ranked #46 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "There's still something thrillingly original here."
Additional InformationBlending Sam Cooke-like smooth soul-pop, hard-grooving, Lee Dorsey-esque R&B, and a terse, visceral blues guitar style, Hunter creates a musical universe in which nothing happened before 1960 or after 1965.
