Soul flowers of Titan

"Whitfield has long been a man who doesn't care much for the distinctions between rock & roll and rhythm & blues, and that hasn't changed a bit on 2018's Soul Flowers of Titan, though this time out, he seems to be digging a bit deeper into straightforward blues territory than he has on his past few sessions ... Soul Flowers of Titan is a rollicking rhythm session from one of the greatest living practitioners of the form, and if anyone deserves Rufus Thomas' old title of The World's Oldest Teenager, it's Barrence Whitfield. Give this a spin and find out why".

"Are you ready for this band? Are you ready to get down: to let the blues pound you into the ground and the soul to lift you high; are you ready to be shot through the heart with the beat of life and the rhythm of cool. If you are ready, then prepare to be sanctified by Barrence Whitfield and his Savages who are gonna rip you up and baptise your bodies with rock and soul and blues. Gotta get some satisfaction".

"Barrence Whitfield's chase after the frenzied r&b past of after-hours dives and lost 45s serves him well on the most entertaining album this singer has made since his eponymous debut in 1984".
