After years of dishonest living-\r\nconsumed by drugs, alcohol, and addiction-such sincerity is jarring from\r\nthe 30-year-old Chicago-based musician. Liberated from a selfdestructive past and born anew in sobriety, Francis has captured an\r\ninspired collection of songs steeped in New Orleans rhythms, Chicago\r\nblues, and early 70s rock n' roll. There is a deep connection between\r\nFrancis's childhood-his obsession with boogie woogie piano, his father's\r\ngift of a dusty Dr. John LP-and the songs he's created. The result is an\r\nastonishing collection of material without parallel in the contemporary\r\nfunk and soul scene. The influences are unmistakable: the vocal stylings\r\nof Allen Toussaint and Leon Russell; the second line rhythms of The\r\nMeters and Dr. John; the barroom rock 'n' roll of The Rolling Stones; the\r\ngospel soul of Billy Preston; the roots music of The Band. Francis pays\r\ntribute to the masters but has his own story to tell: \"It's the life I've lived so\r\nfar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She's a Winner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Have I Lived\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e These Are the Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Changes PTS. 1 ; 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lauren\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Can't Live Without Your Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Put It in His Hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colemine Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420405670223,"sku":"674862659265","price":4.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4122229-3028552.jpg?v=1775623184","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/neal-francis-changes-teal","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
