Thee Sacred Souls My Heart is Drowning b/w Stuck in the Mud

The second 45 from Got a Story to Tell offers up two staff favorites. The moody, mid-tempo mover "My Heart is Drowning" opens with a foreboding, echo-drenched drip that lurks behind singer Josh Lane's tale of a forlorn lover who's past mistakes have left him drowning in despair. With its brooding piano and gritty bassline this song would track well in classic R&B and soul circles with equal command. "Stuck in the Mud" also leans towards an earlier R&B sound but with a subtle tinge of gospel via the call and response vocals that permeate this impeccably heartfelt composition.
