"That's Where It's At! is Michael Jerome Browne's latest collection, focusing on soul music through the lens of a traditional blues player. Recorded largely live off the floor in Sherbrooke and Montréal (Québec) and Hamilton (Ontario), Michael's fingerstyle guitar and warm, unaffected vocals are front and centre, accompanied only by John McColgan's funky drumming on five songs. Michael is joined by some very fine vocalists on four songs: Harrison Kennedy, Eric Bibb and Roxanne Potvin. In this collection you will hear soul music and its roots: five original tunes are mixed in with versions of old spirituals (from Sidney Carter and Blind Willie Johnson), classic '60s blues (Lowell Fulson, Sam Cooke, Bobby "Blue" Bland), and interpretations of songs from the '70s and '80s (Al Green, Randy Newman, Stevie Wonder)".

"From traditional acoustic blues and spirituals to Stevie Wonder, Randy Newman, Sam Cooke and Al Green, Browne's an outstanding interpreter who instills all the covers on his ninth album with a ring of authenticity. That's also the case with two instrumentals that this Montrealer composed himself, as well as with three songs he penned with lyricist B.A. Markus. Browne's vocals and guitar fingerings, along with turns on banjo and harmonica, are temperate, controlled, full of humility and convincing in tone. Just as welcoming are the complementary efforts of guest singers and stylistic confrères Eric Bibb, Harrison Kennedy and Roxanne Potvin".
