This album is a re-invention of his old music style, shifting towards a soulful blues style, complete with a full backing orchestra. It's a concept album revolving around the main character Strickland Banks who gets sent to prison wrongfully. Seriously worth checking out....he seems to be getting very big here at the UK mainstream, and unusually for most artists, he actually deserves it. This man has soul. Check out Prayin', or I Know a Song, and you'll know what I'm talking about.
