The album closes with Mike E.’s “Alright,” a bouncy retro-flavored groove. “These gospel mixes just keep getting better and better,” Douglas says. “I’m so proud of this group of songs and these artists that we’re planning to take this show on the road this Spring.” Keep informed of the future tour and Black Smoke Music Worldwide projects at www.mrkerrydouglas.com.
