Leroy Hutson - Closer To The Source


I was trying to find a different record when I re-discovered this on my shelf. Haven't played it for ages.

Hutson does that mid-tempo soul thing so well. On this album you get two of his biggies: Get To This (You'll Get To Me) and the title track. There's also a very cheeky rip-off of What's Going On in Where Did Our Love Go, which - if it were recorded nowadays - would need a 'contains elements of' tag. But no. Nothing.

I just need to acknowledge Hutson's slip-on, rope-soled, wedge shoes in taupe. The perfect shoe to wear with a cream three piece suit with flared trouser legs and white socks. Worn with panache on the front and back of the sleeve.
