Originally released in 1974, Flesh Of My Skin is Keith Hudson’s key achievement: magnificently and deadly serious, hauntingly unique. Anchored here by Santa Davis and George Fullwood from the Soul Syndicate — alongside musicians like Augustus Pablo, Count Ossie and Leroy Sibbles — Hudson’s mood is tormented and dazed, as on titles like Darkest Night, My Nocturne and Testing My Faith he struggles for Black senses of commitment — political, existential, religious — at its breaking point.
