Home Again [LP]

Home Again is the debut album from Michael Kiwanuka, winner of the BBC Sound of 2012 poll. Ironically, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist's warm and intimate folk-soul sound resembles one of the early- to mid-'70s, as his composition style -- paired with Paul Butler's throwback production approach -- evokes comparisons to classic recordings by the likes of Bill Withers, the Band, Van Morrison, and Terry Callier.
