First, you have to be lucky enough to see Johnny Rawls perform live to truly appreciate his talent. He possesses an undeniable gift for captivating an audience and building excitement—naturally, without gimmicks or flashiness—always backed by seasoned musicians who give their all while remaining slightly in the background. This quality comes through on his albums, and this release is no exception. After spending over twenty years backing soul artists, he has established himself as a leading figure on the festival circuit in Europe and the US, and as one of the artists breathing new life into the Memphis soul scene—as evidenced by his previous album, *Memphis Still Got Soul*. On this record, as on the one to follow, he pays tribute to the people who inspired him and helped him reach his current standing. This CD is sure to satisfy anyone looking to capture the essence of his live performances; it is authentic and sincere in spirit, and worlds away from the flashy, bombastic soul often produced by young artists—talented though they may be—who are manipulated by producers unwilling to grant them the creative freedom they need to flourish.
