Where have all the soul men gone

"A Mississippi native who was born in 1951 and grew up on the Gulf Coast, Rawls initially made his name as a guitarist, working behind several of the top artists the South has ever produced: Joe Tex, Little Johnny Taylor and Z.Z. Hill before becoming band leader for one of the biggest names and best songwriters ever, O.V. Wright, too ... Johnny Rawls may be the senior member of today's senior soul-blues community, but he shows no sign of slowing down".

"It was recorded at Heyman Studios in Copenhagen (...) in the course of Rawls' month-long European tour in early 2020 ... Medium tempos prevail, propelled by Rawls' mastery of rhythm guitar and cushioned by Marsico's organ and the horn section, the latter's blend of trombone and alto sax resulting in a higher and lighter sound than the more common pairing of trumpet and tenor ... Rawls himself has never released a bad album among the 20 or so in his catalog, and this one is no exception".
