Advantages: Best British soul offering for some time. Disadvantages: Not everones taste.
...The Soul Sessions was Joss Stone's debut album. Released in 2003 when Joss was only just 17 years old. Incredible in itself for such a mature debut at such an early age, what seems even more stunning to me was that this soul inspired album is by a British artiste.
I am having so much fun converting my CD's to itunes, listening to albums that have been neglected.

1.: Come On - on off beat Chuck Berry song, to start the album.
2.: I Wanna Be Your Man - Great song, can't go wrong with a Lennon/McCartney song.
