Singer-songwriter NEAL FRANCIS, hailed as nothing less than the reincarnation of Allen Toussaint. The recordings made as demos for his debut album "Changes" get a vinyl release.
Every bit as brilliant as the album. Apart from B2, everything was engineered by MIKE NOVAK of CHICAGO ELECTRONIC PIANO CO., the Chicago specialty shop for vintage electric pianos. Beatboxes, vintage electric piano tones, multi-tracked mix work, blues rock, rhythm & blues. The singing and playing have all the charm of Allen Toussaint or Shuggie Otis brought back to life in the present day. The DIY feel and the finesse of the mix are wonderful too.
