Big Crown Vaults Vol. 1
[engl] We are always sitting on a handful of unreleased songs that didn’t make their way to albums. Listening back to these gems we decided to launch a new series entitled Big Crown Vaults and the first volume features the music of Lee Fields & the Expressions. These tunes were cut during the Special Night & It Rains Love sessions. When you hear these tracks you can imagine how difficult some of these decisions were in the first place to leave them off the albums. An absolute standout is “Regenerate,” a song that finds Lee in the country soul realm, a style that Mr Fields, a North Carolina native, flourishes in. A drum break starts the song and then drops into a chorus where El Michels, Paul & Big Bill Schalda belt out the earworm chorus. Lee sings an encouraging tune about finding your way out of a low point in a relationship while The Expressions lay down an airtight groove. “Thinking About You” takes it back to the dance floors with what will surely be a hit at Soul parties around the globe. An uptempo drum break opens the song and Lee launches into a tale about the unbreakable bond with his significant other and how they keep each strong through moments of hardship and pain. People who have seen Lee perform live in the last decade might have been lucky enough to hear his rendition of Little Carl Carlton’s “Two Timer”. For those of you who haven’t heard it, Big Crown Vaults has got you covered. A faithful version of the song showcases Lee’s gorgeous voice and the Expression's unwavering groove. Another treat on here is the fuzzed out funk banger “Do You Know” where Fields uses his platform to address some of our societal woes in a “Make The World” style. A deeper from the vaults number is “Out To Get You”, an instrumental that Lee never laid down vocals to. Even as just a rhythm track it stands as a testament to The Expressions musical prowess, the band that created 5 studio albums with Lee Fields which will go down in history as stone classics.- Format

It Rains Love
Die Geschichte von Lee Fields ist nahezu einzigartig: 1969 nimmt er seine erste Platte auf, er veröffentlicht Alben auf dreizehn verschiedenen Labels und verbringt fast ein halbes Jahrhundert mit seiner Liebe zur Musik, mit Tourneen und sehr viel Zeit im Studio. Das Erfolgsrezept seines neuen Albums ,Special Night" besteht aus zwei Zutaten: Fields bleibt seinem rau-zärtlichen Soul, den er schon immer gemacht hat, treu. Er richtet aber auch den Blick auf die Gegenwart, um neue Möglichkeiten auszuloten. Das Ergebnis ist ein unverwechselbarer Sound, der, wie Pitchfork bemerkt, ,nicht speziell Atlantic oder Stax oder Philadelphia International oder Chess oder Fame oder Motown verpflichtet ist, sondern eher allen auf einmal". Es gibt Anspielungen, Sounds und Gefühle, die man vielleicht kennt, aber es gibt auch völlig neue Texturen, Themen und Zugänge, die bisher keinen Platz in diesem Genre hatten und dem Sound eine spezielle Qualität geben: die von Lee Fields eben.- Format

Special Night
[engl] Special Night is a masterclass in soul music past and present. Produced by Leon Michels and Thomas Brenneck, and brilliantly performed by the Expressions, Special Night was written, recorded, mixed, and mastered entirely to tape in three weeks at the legendary Diamond Mine Studios in Queens, NY. A sense of urgency, equal parts fun and inspiration, and a decent amount of beer and Jack Daniels were the driving forces during the sessions that produced Lee Fields & The Expressions latest offering. Special Night is also the first record in the Expressions catalogue in which every song was written jointly by Lee Fields and The Expressions. Whether tackling a tune about love lost, found, or broader topics like the state of humanity, Lee has a very unique and honest perspective tat is on display with each unforgettable performance. Also, The Expressions have never been sharper, they, along with Lee, have created a collection of music on Special Night which holds court with pretty much any soul music that came before it.- Format
