Theodis Ealey - Headed Back To Hurtsville

Review by Ralph Thayer

Theodis Ealey's album Headed Back To Hurtsville is a soulful, bluesy masterpiece that will have listeners swaying and tapping their feet from start to finish. The album features Ealey's signature smooth and soulful vocals, backed by a tight and talented band that knows how to lay down a groove.

The album opens with the title track "Headed Back To Hurtsville," a slow-burning blues number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Ealey's vocals are raw and emotional, perfectly capturing the pain and heartache of lost love. The band's instrumentation is equally impressive, with searing guitar solos and a tight rhythm section that keeps the groove going strong.

Other standout tracks on the album include the funky "Funky Things," the soulful ballad "You And I Together," and the upbeat "I Want To Ta-Ta You Baby." Throughout the album, Ealey's vocals are front and center, delivering each song with passion and conviction.
