Not usual to see trades in the NFL but there's a healthy respect between Vikings and Eagles so, musically, when the lead singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer best known for Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos (Minnesota) teams up with the Eraserhood Sound (aka Maxwell Perla Vincent John of Philadelphia) we get ‘Jr. Thomas in the Eraserhood’ that's deep into the golden era of soul.



Nine tracks drenched in that combine Jr. Thomas' vocals and songwritig with the production of the duo of Maxwell and Vincent in thier Philly studio (with was Questlove's at one stage!).

Fans of modern soul like the Cold Diamond & Mink at Timmion, Jalen Ngonda and Steven Bamidele (with the recent THE CRASH! album - see review HERE) with some great flute gang and vibrazone jazzy flavours.

Very different to the label's recent SHOLTO releases and Blue Earth Sound (see review HERE) but it'll be somewhere in the middle with 'Thank You Honey' and the Modern Room of 'Can't Leave You Alone'.
