That unlucky streak broke in 2009 when I caught him perform at the Daptone Records CMJ Showcase along with Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and future favorite Charles Bradley.
Fields triumphantly arrived on stage and got something of a hero's welcome from the crowd. His performance at the showcase coincided with the release of his My World album. His showmanship was slightly different from Bradley's but we knew they gave us 100% during their sets.
I was pleased to learn Lee Fields & The Expressions will be returning to Montreal for a performance at L'Astral.
I saw it as a perfect opportunity to end my streak.
It was good to have a more Lee Fields focused concert this time as opposed to him sharing the bill with other artists. From what I saw, most everyone in attendance enjoyed the show. So much so that I had never seen people scoop merchandise so quickly after a performance.
Lee Fields & The Expressions will be releasing a new album on Truth & Soul Records. Here's the video to Magnolia to tie us over.
