Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A modern blues-rock breakthrough blending soul, hip-hop and guitar fire. Bold and acclaimed. A contemporary highlight. Not prolific in our collection, but essential where they appear.

On vinyl: Fresh pressings are easy to source; this is a good one to buy new rather than hunt second-hand.
