Feel the Spirit

The first of two albums Hutson put out in 1976 during his mid-seventies hot streak, Feel The Spirit is considered by many fans to be his finest, a bold claim bearing in mind the stiff competition from the rest of his catalogue, but it’s certainly one of the best soul albums of the period. Aside from one disco track, Feel The Spirit is made up of advanced, highly-developed funk and catchy, jazz-tinged soul, with not a weak track or even a weak moment to be found anywhere.
