iTunes Review

The multitalented Leroy Hutson made his mark as an integral part of the Chicago soul scene in the ‘60s and ‘70s, thanks to his prodigious talents and connections to some of the city’s distinguished soul luminaries.

It features some of Hutson’s most memorable compositions, including “Can’t Say Enough About Mom” and “Could This Be Love," which is anchored by a grooving fuzz-guitar riff that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Curtis Mayfield or Norman Whitfield production from the same era.
