About Lee Fields
Lee Fields was born in North Carolina and moved to New York as a teenager to sing. He cut his first single in 1969 and spent the following decades on small labels and the Southern soul and blues circuit, working through the years when the music had fallen out of fashion.
The revival labels of the 2000s brought him back to a wider audience. With his band the Expressions he recorded albums including My World, Faithful Man and Emma Jean, and he later signed to Daptone for Sentimental Fool. His voice is a weathered tenor that he pushes into cries and testifying on the slower songs.
