2 soul masters, together - jazzboCR - 31-01-2015
Two gents who are the best of the genre, Otis Clay and Johnny Rawls, have recorded together--it's AMG listed as OC only but it's a sharing of equals. Folks, it doesn't get better than this. Issued on an small but aggresive label in El Paso, TX, it's got all the elements of a big-city, big-label issue. I'm gonna q.v. most of the usual stuff but their Sites:
Mr. Clay: http://otisclay.net/category/news/ << 2 interviews and, natch, some music
Mr. Rawls: http://www.johnnyrawlsblues.com/Home_Page.html << pretty complete, as well...
Some tunes from the supporting tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1422579428&v=oW7PC5M3sb0&x-yt-cl=85114404 << These recorded in Toronto, you lucky ducks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDAVsvrTwOM << Mr. Rawls covers most of the vocal load--Mr. Clay is 75 *. This song is a tribute to the recently-deceased co-author, Teeny Hodges, a giant of the genre...and music overall
