Lee Fields & the Expressions – “Still Gets Me Down”
|I can confidently say that Lee Fields is the only artist on Sound it Out to date who has had a record released in the 60’s. Mr. Fields has been making gritty, heartfelt music for 43 years on 12 different record labels. “Still Gets Me Down” is a B-side to the “Just Can’t Win” 7″ that comes out on Tuesday (9/16), and is in support of his excellent record Emma. The song is so sad and powerful and honest that I’m almost looking forward to a future sulk that will complement it.
Lee Fields & the Expressions are on a massive tour through the US and Europe. The man is a dynamic and accomplished performer—you should do your soul a favor and go see them.
