lee fields - faithful man

lee fields is back (again)!  apparently this album came out in march, but i’ve somehow managed to miss it until now.

more importantly, though, dude can still destroy it at 62-years-old.

Your Sweet Touch by Bahamas from Barchords

Album cover

Play

bahamas - your sweet touch

it’s the warmest day since last summer, and this is on repeat.  all day.

RIYL: the black keys playing out by your best friend’s pool, sitting in the corner on those elastic deck chairs, not worried about whether or not anyone is listening, blue light refracting off the pool onto their guitars, fingers, faces.
