This rich-sounding LP will make you shake your fist at the gods: cult hero Hawkins died, aged just 58, on 1st January 1995, mere months after this album's release and the promise of a new chapter to his patchy career. Older readers will recall him being championed by English DJ Andy Kershaw when roots music was all the rage, Hawkins producing an amalgam of soul, blues, R&B, folk and gospel, appealing to fans across all genres. With hindsight, this is slicker if less intimate than his earlier LPs, but it's still a dream if you love textured vocals. Appropriately and ironically, the closer is a poignant version of Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Long As I Can See The Light'. KK

机译：这张听起来很丰富的LP将使您对众神摇一拳：狂热的英雄霍金斯于1995年1月1日去世，享年58岁，就在这张专辑发行几个月后，他的斑驳的职业生涯又有了新篇章。年长的读者会回想起他曾受到英国DJ安迪·克肖（Andy Kershaw）的拥护，当时根源音乐风靡一时，霍金斯（Hawkins）融合了灵魂，布鲁斯，节奏布鲁斯（R＆B），民谣和福音，吸引了所有流派的歌迷。事后看来，这比他早些时候的LP亲密些，但它却显得轻率，但如果您喜欢有声的人声，那仍然是一个梦想。适当而具有讽刺意味的是，更接近的是Creedence Clearwater Revival的“我能看到的光长”的凄美版本。 KK
