REVIEWS
I loved this album. Jay Douglas is a gem. He is a superb singer and entertainer and he’s filled this album with a lot of great music with almost forty artists playing and singing with him. I’m sorry I did not name each and every one of them for space reasons, but suffice it to say they all do a fantastic job as they and Jay give us ten wonderful covers and four songs of his own crafting. I really enjoyed this one because Douglas is a great singer (as are his supporting vocalists) and his bands are excellent. I recommend this one to anyone who wants to hear someone pay tribute to his musical roots in in a delightful and truly entertaining way!

Today Jay is beginning to be recognized more often as audiences have come to acknowledge his legacy, having moved like a cat through music styles, fluid and graceful honouring his mentors. With the release of “Confession”, Jay Douglas is bound to be recognized properly as a music pioneer and champion. If you love funky soul blues, you need to get to Confession!
