Robert Finley presents Sharecropper's Son, his career-defining album. Hailed as "the greatest living soul singer," Finley experienced overnight success after 67 years of hard work. Following his semi-finalist appearance on America's Got Talent, he returned to the studio to create a follow-up to his critically acclaimed record, Goin' Platinum! The resulting album, produced by Dan Auerbach, is a soulful masterpiece that showcases the vintage sounds of southern harmony, rhythm, and blues. Recorded at Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville with legendary music studio veterans, Robert Finley's formidable vocals and lyrical stylings take center stage. Sharecropper's Son shares personal stories inspired by Finley's Louisiana country childhood during the Jim Crow era in the south. His tales of pain and joy uplift as he reflects on his belief that you are never too young to dream and never too old to live. Show more
