Oliver Wang of NPR states “Fields is retro soul royalty, with a voice that recalls the heyday of Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding & James Brown”
With the resurgence of music from the 60’s, Mad Men, and all things retro the soul music made famous comes forward with soul singers like Lee Fields, a former 70’s hare-core funkster.
The Funkster Fields recorded with small labels and had moderate success. In the 80’s he was hardly mentioned. But the 90’s he came back as a soul/blues singer targeting heavy female audiences on the southern circuit, oozing with charisma, and belting the blues.
With 30 years of experience and retrospect he incorporates the elements of today’s sounds into his music, but stays true to the soulful singer he has always been.
