Soul survivor

"One element that Southern soul has in common with blues and country music is that artists such as Rawls have a penchant for story telling. The tracks on Soul Survivor provide Rawls space to operate in that tradition. He uses the album to find insightful and often funny ways to explore two recurring themes in Southern soul music - women and money".

""60 years old and still going strong", he declares on Soul Survivor. Indeed; if the strengths of this album is any indication, Rawls has many more grooves left to lay down".
