Put it down to the fact that it was recorded at the world-famous FAME and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio - as used by Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones - but DeWolff's follow-up to 2023’s Love, Death & In Between comes filled with ghosts from rock’n’soul’s illustrious past.
Opener In Love sets the tone.
