블루아이드 소울의 대명사 영국 밴드 ‘Simply Red’ 의 리드싱어인 Mick Hucknall 영국 아티스트 중 가장 소울풀하고 독창적인 보이스컬러를 갖고 있다. 이 앨범은 심플리 레드의 프런트맨인 그가 선보이는 첫 번째 솔로 데뷰앨범으로 의미가 깊다. 이 앨범은 50년대 멤피스에서 활동하던 블루스 아이콘 “Bobby ‘blue’ Bland” 의 음악들로 구성되어있는데 Bland 의 첫 번째 알앤비 싱글 1위곡으로 앨범의 포문이 열리면 그 밖에도 “Stormy Monday Blues”, “Chains of Love”, “I Pity the Fool” 등이 뒤를 잇는다. 심플리 레드의 팬이라면 반드시 필청을 권한다.
