Tonight, Southern soul man Anthony Hamilton performs at House of Blues. After his recent show in Los Angeles, Mikel Wood wrote:

One of soul music’s most consistent talents, this North Carolina native may also be its most considerate: a real-world romantic whose church background gives his work a prevailing sense of reassurance. Sex for Hamilton rarely serves as its own reward; there’s no R. Kelly-style braggadocio in his music. Instead, he presents love as a salve for any number of earthly struggles. In “Cool,” for instance, that role-play offer follows the singer’s admission that he lacks the money for a movie.

Here’s the video for the “Can’t Let Go” from 2005’s Ain’t Nobody Worryin’ album, and the audio for “Woo,” a track from his recently released album, Back to Love.
