Hutson II

Released

His fourth album rather than second, Hutson II is considered in soul circles every bit as prestigious as his previous three. Leroy Hutson was a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, producer and arranger and took care of all these duties for this album. The material is exquisitely-put-together R’n’b/soul/funk, ranging from ballads, mid-tempo steppers, funky-soul and disco, to a couple of jazz-tinged funk instrumentals and the sublime orchestral piece ‘Situations’, making Huston II one of his most complete works. Hutson’s 70s albums are strangely underrated compared to his contemporaries but soul fans have always treasured them.
