Sat 4 Oct – Eric Roberson, Anthony David, Angela Johnson

I was part of an appreciative audience who on Saturday witnessed Eric (Erro) Roberson who performed here in London.

The evening started off with Angela Johnson who played tracks from her excellent current album 'A Woman's Touch - Volume 1'. Angela also did a fine cover of "You Got The Love" originally done by Rufus.

When Angela finished her set, Anthony David came straight on and went into his set. Again excellent support. David performing songs from his albums 'The Red Clay Chronicles' & 'Three Chords & The Truth'.

Then it was Erro's turn and for the next 90 minutes along with his excellent band performed brilliantly playing all his popular tracks, also impressing with his freestyle rapping on subjects shouted out by the audience.

For me this was an excellent evening of quality soul music proving that there are artists out there in 2008 still making good music.

ANTHONY DAVID – THE RED CLAY CHRONICLES

The the songs on this CD are easy going with nice & mature soulful sound.

Tracks that standout are “Stop Playin’”, “Words” where David duets with India.Arie, “Sho Nuff” which has a 70s funky feel to it, the title track with a strong Gil-Scott Heron feel lyrically, “Smoke One”, “Spittin’ Game” and the Level 42 song “Something About You”.

David makes a brave attempt at reggae with the track “50/50”.

Recommended CD if you like your modern soul. An artist for the future.
