It was thoroughly modern in its approach but in Ward Brown they had a vocalist who remembered what old school soul sensitivities were all about. He proved he knew that soul is all about commitment, life experience and real passion – and the good news is that there’s an abundance of all those sensitivities on the new 12 tracker 'Soul Satisfied'. Already awarded 'Album of the Fortnight' by the authorative Blues & Soul magazine, this has proved to be the Hot Soul Album of 2006!
