Light Out Of Darkness is not only a lyrical tribute to the breadth of Charles' talent and heart; it is also a testament to the depth of Shirley's soul and a masterly display of her interpretive skills. Of course, Light Out Of Darkness has its jazz-informed underpinnings, but more than that, it evokes Brother Ray's spiritual essence via Horn's bluesy vocals, classic R&B soul piano and churchy organ. session |
