EVERYTIME I KNOCK ON YOUR FRONT DOOR kicks off this EP with an epic blues song that will have you rocking from the very first note.This music gets deep down into your soul that you cannot love. You truly feel this music. I love it.
HARD BARGAIN is truly a song that reminds me of the '60's soul music that has disappeared over time. This is the type of song that will remind you of The O'Jays, Al Green, The Four Tops and the list goes and goes. This song is truly a gem. I'M COMING HOME will really hit home with you as the lyrics and the melody as you listen closely. Close your eyes and drift away. This song will take you far, far away. Isn't that a great feeling?
