With the worldwide pandemic wrecking utter havoc upon the careers of many musicians, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar elected to use their time off the road to record, their latest tour-de-force, the astonishingly powerful, funky and deeply soulful The Reckless One. Over the course of the album the discerning listener will detect a panoply of influences ranging from Mavis Staples, Sharon Jones and Otis Redding to Booker T. and the MG's, The Rolling Stones and the Memphis Horns. Eleven of the album's twelve songs were either co-written or solely composed by the multi-faceted artist. The one non-original, a funk infused cover of Bob Dylan's "Meet Me in the Morning," fuses Dylan's lyric in a cataclysmic clash with the sensibilities of the Meters and the hurricane force of Howlin' Wolf and Tina Turner at their rawest. It simply has to be heard to be believed.
