    I can't stop listening to this. Leon Bridges has so much soul and his vocals are smooth as silk. The band is awesome and the background singers are doing their thing. I actually think they should all go on a tour together. This was absolutely perfection. Love it!!!!

    I live on a lonely avenue
    My little girl wouldn't say I do
