Super Soul
author: soulchick
I agree that this is Johnny Rawls' best cd. From the Memphis Soul of the title song to the funky last song,Looking For Trouble, this album is strong all the way through. The songs are well-written and each one sounds original, not like most blues today where bad lyrics are put to something you have heard before. Rawls is a singer who knows how to deliver the song which separates him from most blues/soul artists today or, for that matter, most singers of any genre. This is very well-produced and the musical performances are really good. The sax of Andy Roman sounds like Lenny Picket, super keyboard work by Dan Ferguson, the rythm section is strong on all 14 songs with the guitar leads cooking but not over the top. These are songs that I am listening to over and over from a great, underrated artist who has been playing great soul since he was with O.V. Wright and Johnny Taylor in the 60s and 70s. While the music gives that good feeling that we used to get when a new Motown or Stax hit was on the radio, it covers blues from New Orleans to Texas to Chicago in addition to Memphis and the sound is not stuck in the past. Good time songs, love songs, cheating songs and some social commentary in the tradition of Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayafield. Highly recommended, one of the best cds I have heard this year.
