Nobody's Fault but Mine

A high-octane tribute to soul and R&B classics. McCain swaps his acoustic balladry for a grit-flecked horn section and a bar-band swagger that feels lived-in.

June 24, 2008 · Direct Holdings Americas Inc.

A high-spirited, celebratory romp through the soul canon that prioritizes raw vocal energy over pop perfection.

Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive horn entrance on Can I Get a Witness that immediately signals a departure from his acoustic pop roots.

The raw, strained vulnerability in the lower register during the bridge of I've Got Dreams to Remember.

The driving, syncopated rhythm section on I Can't Get Next to You that transforms the psych-soul original into a blues-rock stomper.
