Description
Lee Fields, a soul performer who’s been at it since at least the mid-1970s, has, along with Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley over on the Daptone label, seen a bit of a career renaissance in recent years as younger, predominantly white audiences clamor for relics from bygone eras, undiscovered gems still kicking around the scene and doing their best to realize what most would have long ago deemed an impossible dream. And much like with the Swampers down in Muscle Shoals, the majority of these black performers find sympathetic, wickedly funky ears in groups of young white players, nearly all of whom honed their musical chops largely on black music.
