When Irish singer Imelda May first emerged a few years after the turn of the Millennium I was quick to pick up her rockabilly influenced albums Love Tattoo (2008) and Mayhem (2010) Thereafter she disappeared fairly quickly from my radar
I was vaguely aware that she had gone more mainstream but thought I would give Life.Love.Flesh. Blood her 5th Studio album from 2017 on the Decca label a punt.
Produced by T-Bone Burnett it is pretty much as far removed from her earlier albums as you can get, For example under Genre Wiki has the descriptors as Soft Rock. Soul.Jazz. Jeff Beck and Jools Holland also pop up on a couple of the tracks. It seems to average 4 out of 5 stars from the critics
After a first listen it is not for me. I suspect that Mrs CC may like it so it will probably not be going back to charity just yet. Who knows, it might be a grower.
Potentially Sunday morning music.
