Album comments

With all original music, The Soul Mission's first album includes some of the hottest jazz, funk and blues tunes, arrangements and solos this side of border. Who knew that the Kitchener-Waterloo area had so much talent?

Eleven tracks bring together R&B, urban, blues, reggae and jazz into one consolidated, smoking sound, featuring the "Horndogs", the Soul Mission's tight, punchy horn section.
