Everybody Needs Somebody To Love

Slept-on late period album by the great #SolomonBurke. A collaboration with Dutch rock band #DeDijk, which maybe sounds like a gimmick on paper, but it comes off as a classic gritty-soul record. Burke died eleven days after its release.

Start with "Seventh Heaven," "My Rose Saved From The Street," and "Text Me" (speaking of sounds-gimmicky-but-actually-good)

#PresentsForChristmas by #SolomonBurke. Another new one for me. Taps into that feeling of spreading Xmas to everybody, good will 'round the world type of thing which always manages to pull at the heart-strings of this old dog. Play it loud. Clap your hands
