In the soul revival group Durand Jones and the Indications, Jones got top billing but the occasional lead vocals of drummer Aaron Frazer were every bit as captivating. One notable enthusiast was musician-producer Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, who phoned to invite the musician to his Easy Eye Studio in Nashville for an intense week of co-writing and recording, resulting in this delicious debut solo album.

As the falsetto-voiced crooner behind the drum kit of Midwestern soul revival outfit Durand Jones & the Indications, Aaron Frazer won a lot of hearts with "Is It Any Wonder?," a honeyed R&B ballad that represented his sole turn as lead vocalist on the band's 2016 debut.
