Following closely in the legendary footsteps of Ray Charles, Mick Hayes canât and shouldnât be placed into just one box. While his sound has been best described as âsoulful, bluesy and funkyâ, it is clear that this student of the game has earned a masterâs degree in Southern-Soul Music. Itâs timeless music like this that moves the needle back-n-forth from the recorded grooves of the band to the analog grooves of the vinyl record.
