A Gospel album, but one with Deep Funk roots, the first full length album from Naomi Shelton, a vocalist we first came to love for her funky 45s on the Desco and Daptone labels!! The music's a great mix of Gospel vocals and some of the Heavy Soul sounds we've come to expect from Daptone, small combo instrumentation led by keyboardist Cliff Driver, recorded with a gritty edge that takes us back to the best Southern Soul sounds of the late 60s. Production is impeccable, a perfect setting for Naomi's great lead vocals, and some hip support from the Gospel Queens trio, and although contemporary, the album's like finding a batch of rare Soul Gospel singles in the back of some dusty record shop!!
