I put the call out to listeners, asking for recommendations pointing to contemporary Soul artists who have a classic sound. I feature six of those recommendations in this episode. Leon Bridges, Raphael Saadiq, Lee Fields, Charles Bradley, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, and Naomi Shelton. It’s a strong hour of music — my personal favorite being Leon Bridges.
