There Is Always One More Time is a compilation of the recordings Johnny Adams made for Rounder Records in the 1980s and '90s. The compilation was put together by Scott Billington, who produced all of Adams' Rounder albums. In his liner notes, Billington acknowledges that he had never produced an R&B singer before, so it may not be surprising that he was quick to have Adams sing in styles other than...
TWELVE workers from the De Krans wine estate near Calitzdorp in the Southern Cape have cause to celebrate after having officially been handed over their own homes after an eight-year wait.
Having spent some time in New Orleans over the years, I’m always happy to review a new album from one of the local legends, especially one who mixes blues, jazz and soul into his own special sound. Walter “Wolfman” Washington has kept a low profile in the last decade - partially due to Hurricane Katrina [...]
Today is the anniversary of the birth of the great pop songwriter Doc Pomus (Jerome Felder). Doc was one of the true characters of the Brill Building era of pop songwriting. Together with his partner Mort Shuman, he wrote hit songs for a long list of artists including Elvis, Ray Charles, Dion and the Belmonts, and the Drifters. The

As I've said before, Eldridge Holmes was one of New Orleans' great soul/R&B vocalists. Period. Had he gotten the opportunity to record as much as the smoother, more formal Johnny Adams did over as many years, he would be at least as well-known and spoken of in the same reverential tones. As it is, though, no real breaks came his way; and he dropped off the radar of all but a few die-hard collectors...

I Won't Cry Here's where it all started for our man Johnny Adams in 1959. As the story goes, Dorothy Labostrie (the woman who had supplied the 'clean' lyrics to Little Richard 's 'Tutti Frutti') lived in the apartment upstairs from him, and when she heard him singing 'Precious Lord' in the shower, she was so impressed with his voice that she talked him into 'crossing over' and singing a new song she...
Free Press special writer Jon Machota attended Saturday's Green-White spring scrimmage in East Lansing. Here are some observations he had on the Spartan defense:
More Dirty Laundry: The Soul of Black Country is the second compilation of its kind from Trikont, packed with two dozen tracks of soul singers goin' country. It's also pretty darn great. While I'm not convinced all the artists fall under the "soul" umbrella, there are some real classics here. Along with better known contributions by the likes of Ruth Brown, Sammy Davis Jr., and Ike & Tina Turner, numerous...
High energy blues played with passion !! Innes Sibun made his first album with legendary producer Mike Vernon who produced the John Mayall/Eric Clapton Beano album as well as all the Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac albums.

Before Aaron Neville’s angelic tenor, before Johnny Adams’ unbelievable falsetto, there was Skip James. Besides accompanying himself on guitar or piano, he sang with a voice most ethereal. He didn't hit the high notes; he caressed them. But don't take...
