Frazey Ford, best known as the lead voice of The Be Good Tanyas, returns with her second solo effort, Indian Ocean, a lush album filled with songs about pain and dealing with tough truths, but also about love, contrition, and being bold. Part of what gives Indian Ocean its gilded edge is the work of Al Green's band, The Hi Rhythm Section—the iconic architects of the legendary singer's instrumental sound. There's affirmation in its 11 songs, as Ford's self-possession and passion bring depth and emotion to the music. On this follow-up to her 2010 critically acclaimed album Obadiah, Ford delivers an unbridled, full-throated ebullience that takes listeners to where the soul rivers run deep. The Hi Rhythm Section—Charles Hodges (organ), Leroy Hodges (bass), and Teenie Hodges (guitar), the latter of whom recently passed away—helped Al Green pen some of his most famous songs. Ford benefits from their immense talents, with the trio enhancing her sensual and opulent vocals through deep-bottomed bass, subtle backbeats, and airy organ flourishes. They're joined by golden horn arrangements and the undulating harmonies of Debra Jean Creelman and Caroline Ballhorn's backing vocals, which open the restless yet hopeful album track 'September Fields.' John Raham, Frazey's creative partner and co-producer, contributes his considerable expertise to achieve the album's delicate musical balance.

Splendidly politically incorrect by today’s standards but a bit of fun. Set in Nigeria but I suspect filmed in East a Africa - the fever trees in the wildlife scenes give it away
