After years of dishonest living-consumed by drugs, alcohol, and addiction-such sincerity is jarring from the 30-year-old Chicago-based musician. Liberated from a self-destructive past and born anew in sobriety, Francis has captured an inspired collection of songs steeped in New Orleans rhythms, Chicago blues, and early 70s rock n' roll. There is a deep connection between Francis's childhood-his obsession with boogie woogie piano, his father's gift of a dusty Dr. John LP-and the songs he's created. The result is an astonishing collection of material without parallel in the contemporary funk and soul scene. The influences are unmistakable: the vocal stylings of Allen Toussaint and Leon Russell; the second line rhythms of The Meters and Dr. John; the barroom rock 'n' roll of The Rolling Stones; the gospel soul of Billy Preston; the roots music of The Band. Francis pays tribute to the masters but has his own story to tell: \"It's the life I've lived so far.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 This Time \u003cbr\u003e1.2 She's a Winner \u003cbr\u003e1.3 How Have I Lived \u003cbr\u003e1.4 These Are the Days \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Changes, PTS. 1 ; 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Lauren \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Can't Live Without Your Love \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Put It in His Hands\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Neal Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54629332353396,"sku":"39303882","price":8.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/7449\/0228\/files\/3701742-2413721.jpg?v=1779250939","url":"https:\/\/shnjsx-hj.myshopify.com\/products\/neal-francis-changes","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
