An early high point in the career of OV Wright , the kind of "cut above" work that really got him noticed right away. A subtle blend of soul, blues, and more sophisticated styles, a bit like Bobby Blue Bland at his best, but sung in a much more sweetly soulful tone! The backings are great, rich and full of feeling, and never in a cliched sort of way and the tracks are all great too, mostly lesser-known numbers that get past too-familiar southern soul standards.
Titles include "Eight Men & Four Women", "Why Don't You Believe Me", "Don't Want To Sit Down", "You're Gonna Make Me Cry", "Bachelor's Blues", "If It's Only For Tonight", and "You've Been Crying".
