A neo deep soul ballad from
Valerie June
featuring Carla Thomas is a track from her latest album 'The Moon And
Stars: Prescriptions For Dreamers' released 12 Mar 2021.
She is from Memphis, TN and this is her fifth album since her 2006 debut.
The album is a real mixed bag and not for soul purists as it mixes folk,
blues, country, gospel, blue grass, gospel, soul, meditation, psychedelia
and astral .. with titles such as 'Stardust Scattering' and 'Stay
Meditation' and 'African Proverb' .. it's quite bizzare really but
there are a few tracks that have grown on me after a few listens (e.g.
'Two Roads' and the featured track)!
This track billed as featuring Carla Thomas who only appears in a spoken
intro lasting a whole six seconds! It is reminiscent of Etta James'
'I'd Rather Go Blind'.
