"Their sound - equal parts deep-soul rootsy and contemporary infused with pop/jazz - complements Rawls' own aesthetic, which has always borrowed equally from the old-school soul tradition and more mainstream pop influences ... fans of Rawls' deft guitar work will miss it here - all fretboard chores are handled by the Rays' Johnny McGhee. It's clear, though, that Johnny Rawls continues to honor soul music's living heritage in a way that both embraces that heritage and looks forward".
