The James Brown of the Underground
Lee Fields might just be one of the few soul legends who are still around. With over 50 years of career and many funk and soul classics like Let’s Talk it Over, “Little JB” (the resemblance with James Brown is striking) is a genuine cult hero in his genre. His latest album Special Night, with his splendid backing band The Expressions, is a raw gem that demonstrates what soul is supposed to sound like: tender, heartbreaking and more refreshing than a sweet mojito.
