Description
Robert Finley is a Soul Singer. One who seemingly burst onto the music scene overnight with a voice as distinct and memorable as anyone you will ever hear. His latest release, Sharecropper’s Son, is a modern, classic soul release that is a snapshot into Robert’s life. With musical stylings from Blues, Gospel, Soul, and R&B Sharecropper’s Son takes you on a musical journey with Finley at the helm.
Robert has overcome many struggles in his life, but those struggles have refined his character and made him into the artist he is today. Most people would shutter under the devastation of divorce, house fires, an automobile accident, and becoming blind from glaucoma, but not Robert. According to Finley, “Losing my sight gave me the perspective to see my true destiny.” It wasn’t until after Robert had to retire from being a carpenter, that he decided to follow his life-long dream of becoming an artist.
Sharecropper’s Son is Finley’s second release for Easy Eye Sound and has Dan Auerbach returning as producer. Auerbach emphatically states, “Finley is the greatest living soul singer”. These are big words to live up to, but after one listen, you know you are hearing something special, and Auerbach may very well be right.
