B-Sides Singles & Forgotten Gems [CD]

There is something to be said about being both popular and prolific enough to be anthologized-it's a space that soul music stalwart Kelly Finnigan and his latest release, B-Sides, Singles & Forgotten Gems, occupies with intent and fire. Serving as a mile marker pacing the fifteen-year collaboration between Finnigan and Colemine Records, B-Sides, Singles & Forgotten Gems is an easter egg moment for new and long-time fans to collect rare takes and flip sides in one spot, while unearthing Finnigan's evolution as an artist, producer, and vocalist. From his earliest explorations to one of the first tracks cut at his new studio in Ohio, this travelogue in sound both brings the listener forward to the present while laying out Kelly Finnigan's road ahead. ""Colemine has grown so much, I've grown so much... I think [this collection is a chance to] take a little look back and share that with the people, the fans, the music lovers, the Colemine lovers,"" says Finnigan.
