So great. A soulful, blues inspired collection of heartfelt songs that make me want to stop and just listen. Eric Burton's voice is a chameleon, sometimes reminding me of Al Greene, at times recalling Michael Jackson, then on to Levi Stubbs. The band could be straight out of Muscle Shoals. While "Colors" gets the nod from the Grammys, "Fire," "October 33"and "Touch the Sky" are just as good. Each song is spellbinding and I don't want any to stop, but if I'm too slow to hit replay the next song is just as good. Keep on playing, Black Pumas.
