Blue Eyed Soul

Description

First excerpt from "Blue Eyed Soul", the 12th album, a concoction meant to be the rawest, funkiest, and most moving of an exceptional career. The almost caricatural cover could serve as a poster for a 70s blaxploitation detective film, but shot in the seedy streets of Manchester. The musical references send us straight to funk and soul classics: Wilson Pickett, Dyke and the Blazers, James Brown, and the roaring horns of Tower of Power. Simply Red has accumulated over a billion views on YouTube and sold over 60 million records worldwide, including 5 No. 1 albums in the UK. Hucknall has been the songwriter and bandleader since 1985, supported since 1986 by veteran saxophonist Ian Kirkham. Simply Red's current lineup has not changed since 2003. Available in 3 versions: - Standard CD, - Deluxe Double CD, - Vinyl.
