Hubert Emerson O states, “The more I write, the better I should get!” Though many may argue that he has been great for years now, “Tears of God,” can be described as the epitome of Caribbean Soul music. The title might suggest melancholy, but the music proves otherwise. A perfect mix of funk, ballad, reggae and soul, Emerson expresses his feelings of love while also addressing the destructive behaviors that plague society today. Yet, despite the harsh realities of our world, Hubert Emerson O is hopeful. This album is truly The GroWiser Band at its finest.

This album is significant not only because it includes the socially important title track, “GroWiser,” but also because it is the only album of The GroWiser Band featuring the great saxophonist Sweet Daddy Lovie Lovejoy. He passed away in 2012 and left the gift of his sound for us to enjoy for a lifetime. The music on this album has a fluidity, brought about by the combination of Emerson’s rich vocals, Lovie’s seemingly talking sax and Stephen Jones’ in-the-pocket drums. The listener will be transported into another time as he or she hears Lovie echo Emerson’s call with each note. Prepare yourself to GroWiser…… Click here to listen to song clips from this album |
