The irony is that Clayton was "cutting-edge" in his recording heyday, say about 1995 through 2005, from the sly-and-knowing, slow-motion groove of "Wiggle" to the rapturous, aural sonic bath of "Boom, Boom, Boom".Īnd yet, both groups of fans are right and need only identify themselves to know whether they would like Willie's new album,įor the old school, the album's kick-off tune For the believers-the fans who cherish the Willie who brought us the albums FULL CIRCLE and CHANGING THE GAME and GIFTED and THE LITTLE GIANT OF SOUL, not to mention the fans who were with Willie in the nineties for NO GETTING OVER YOU and ACE IN THE HOLE-he is the old school's singer's singer, the living receptacle of all that is pure and authentic in southern soul music.įor the non-believers-the Pokey Bear-era fans looking for cutting-edge commitment, brazenness, relevance and showmanship-Clayton is an anachronism, a throwback, a conspicuously old-fashioned interpreter. Nice notes: Willie Clayton is who we thought he was, and that goes for the believers and non-believers. Sample/Buy Willie Clayton's new album BORN TO SING at Amazon.īORN TO SING TRACK LIST:1.
