#1017 Arthur Alexander - You Better Move On

On this album of lovelorn, country-flecked soulful pop, Alexander croons over longing and loss and a touch of what's in between. His voice is round and silky and bowling ball bold, and while the production and songwriting blend in with the Spectorism of the time, his long list of coverers and alleged admirers lends credence to his talents. He's been cited as a secret influence on the likes of The Beatles and The Stones, and yet its all pretty waterey to the modern ear, lacking any particular poetry or punch 3/5
