Listening to his first two albums, one might imagine Robert Finlay to be a son of Solomon Burke, Al Green or Otis Redding. Or their little brother at least: maybe about fifteen years younger, but with an exceptional, old-fashioned soul voice. Like many others before him (like Charles Bradley, for example), Finlay has come to the music scene late in life, releasing his first album in 2016 at the age of 62, after a whole life spent as a part-time amateur singer. Robert Finley is the son of the sharecropper referred to in the title of this third album, which recalls his rural, modest origins as eloquently as an old cowboy hat or a shirt tucked into jeans. He's a son of the old south, the south of segregation and poverty, a place whose pain stays lodged in the throat and only escapes in song. Now 67, Finley continues to sing like a chiselled old angel, accompanied by Dan Auerbach. The guitarist and singer from the Black Keys, who produced the 2017 album, Goin' Platinum!, also helped create Sharecropper's Son and brought its musicians together. This album is a solid, rooted, hearty slice of life. Like soul food, it settles the stomach and soothes away anxieties. Robert Finley sings of only two things: his story, and his hopes. The end result works and holds together: the music is made in the style of Memphis '68, with brass, bluesy guitars, bass that's as deep as the bayou and lascivious mid-tempos. Played alongside albums like Al Green's Call Me and Solomon Burke's Proud Mary, Sharecropper's Son is totally entrancing, timeless and eternal. © Stéphane Deschamps/Qobuz
