Often ­overlooked, Willie's second album Season For Love (1970) is a must for all deep soul fans and has been sought­after by collectors of different stripes for decades. Whereas his debut featured thundering, gritty numbers, Hutch treats us to a mellower soul here ­ sumptuous, warm and string-led. He compared his approach to that of Otis Redding and there are definite parallels; from the raspy, rough­hewn vocals that tend to roam between sweet and deeply impassioned to the horn- heavy, emphatic sonic backdrops.
