Roy Roberts - Daylight With A Flashlight

Sweet soul music is still alive and well, and injected with the blues courtesy of the remarkable Roy Roberts. The chunky rhythms, the smooth vocals and the playful MoFo Horns update the Stax sound. If Top 40 Radio weren't a monopoly, then many of Roy's songs would be blues anthems, doing well where Johnnie Taylor and Latimore reign. These are mostly self-penned songs from Roy and he makes them count with his Strat, a little B-3 and a few local guys. Roy says it is his best to date with a Bobby Bland / Robert Cray thing happenin'. I guess his years with Solomon Burke, Eddie Floyd and Otis Redding have served him well. This Disc is smooth - It cooks - It has everything!
