awesome soul Lee Fields announced last week that he had signed with Daptone Records and is currently working on a new album which will be released this fall. Lee had a few singles on Daptone in the early 2000s, but his last records with his band The expressions, including those of 2019 It’s raining love, were on Big Crown. To celebrate the announcement, Lee shared “Ordinary Lives,” an unreleased song from a session with The Dap Kings which you can listen to below.
“Ordinary Lives” will be part of a touring EP only available on Lee Fields & The Expressions’ upcoming tour, which includes shows in the United States in April and May.
