Review / This was the first of the “Hutson” series. By far my favorite, Leroy put together a very soulful LP about love, borrowing influences from the funk and jazz genres. The production is superb and the lyrics are relatable. Hutson had a ground-breaking sound that went overlooked, the instrumentation and arrangements were razor sharp, and the sound held up very well for not having been constricted to one genre.
Design / Another great cover, from the type, to the graphic photography of Leroy and his lady. Check out the styling on both individuals (peep that cane w/ the mean lean!), it’s right on! Although posed, the stance is very believable. The warm color palette is working well here, set off nicely by her bright white fur coat and dress. Two thumbs up on this album cover.
