Les ondes dâun vieux transistor laissent planer les doo-wap dâune complainte amoureuse de la fin les annĂ©es 60. Câest lui, Leon Bridges, 26 ans, chic Ă lâancienne et pantalons Ă pinces. Le jeune guitariste, chanteur et compositeur texan fait onduler un doux mĂ©lange de soul et de gospel avec une voix aux

LEON BRIDGES
Eâ When you hear him you are transported musically to Louisiana, soaking in the humid heat of the South with no fan in sight. An old transistor radio is crackling out the doo-waps of a lovelorn
ballad of the late 1960s. But no, itâs Leon Bridges, 26 years old, old-school chic in pleated pants.

Waiting to discover him at the Club, we canât help daydreamingâitâs as though Otis Redding and Sam Cooke were right here with usâŠ
