IRMA THOMAS: The Story of My Life

Posted 10 months ago
Here is the definitive modern Irma Thomas album: great new songs by some of the most talented writers in the business, a band of many of New Orleans' and Memphis' best musicians, and vocals that offer an assured and compelling definition of soul. The Story of My Life is a contemporary record made "like in the old days," with singer, musicians and songwriters and producer collaborating in a spontaneous environment. The emotions and the grooves you'll find in this music are the real thing, delivered by one of New Orleans' most expressive vocalists at the very peak of her power.
