The American soul singer Michael Trotter Jr. used to know enough misery and misfortune to be in a minor mood and spread sadness. As a soldier in the Iraq war he sang for his fallen comrades and back in America he was lost, until he met actress and singer
Tanya Blount. They now share their love for each other with the world by singing as a duo about nothing but love and life force. Also on their
… second album Hearts Town they do this in powerful soul duets with rock and roots influences. Both sing powerfully and jubilantly and with a crackling mutual chemistry. Jason Isbell also joins them and cheers enthusiastically with the couple in Beautiful. There's something edifying about the jubilation of the Trotters, but fortunately nowhere does that get in the way of a solid and lived through sound. (MR)more
