The world of music and especially all soul lovers lost one of its most respected icons about four years ago He was Otis Clay so, with this recording Johnny Rawls wants to pay tribute to one of his most close friends, a friendship that started about forty years ago The album gathers ten own compositions, all them inspired by the music and songs Otis Clay used to perform In his own words, Rawls wanted to keep alive the memory of his good friend but, at the same time, show that, aged sixty-eight, he still keeps intact his vocal qualities and skills like were quite a few decades ago, Besides his creative energy, which has made possible to write one song per day, or at least this is what he says we should not doubt about All songs show us Johnny Rawls is on top form but also he is able to develop the most traditional soul but at the same time full of a real elegant refined display, both Rawls and Clay were accomplished masters To those of you who love soul with a melodic passionate and effective blues touch, this is a totally recommended album
