Blue-Eyed Soul from Huba, a sweet Scandinavian act with a classic sort of groove!! Huba's headed by vocalist Tuomas Kaila, a singer with the sort of charm we love in Georgie Fame, particularly during his early 70s years, a style that's steeped in influences from older Blues and Soul, and is never too afraid to show them, but also doesn't ever go for a strict sort of copy either. Kaila's balance here is great, confident and charming, yet never over the top, and always with an easygoing groove that fits in perfectly with the live Funk instrumentation of the group, which has some especially great organ lines that warm up the sound nicely. Production is great too, with some older Memphis touches, mixed in with a slight dose of UK mod too, but never in a rocking way!!
