"Dan Auerbach calls [him] "the greatest living soul singer". Thus, he has signed the 63-year-old to his label, produced him, written the songs (along with the likes of and ) and paired him with stellar musicians from Elvis sidemen to legendary "guitar man" Duane Eddy.The results are decidedly retro-modern - that bit too well produced to have been authentically blaring out of a roadside bar in the 1960s - but are steeped in blues and soul and a lot of fun".

" ... the storytelling is eloquent throughout, atmospheric and evocative without decending into bathos or cliché. Finley's vocals, meanwhile, are more than up the the lyrics' challenge: he can evoke passion, mystery, erotic tension, jubilation, outrage and spiritual yearning with equal aplomb, all the while avoiding histrionics or overkill. The songs themselves connect with straight-ahead blues, soul, R&B, folk pop and rock 'n' roll ... [with] enough chordal, melodic and harmonic swerves to please musically adventurous listeners, even as they remain sufficiently straight-ahead to be attractive to more roots-minded aficionados".
