Tiger In A Cage - Johnny Rawls CD

Product Description Tiger in a Cage by Johnny Rawls Review This time around, the award winning soul vocalist goes contemporary opening this set with a lament about whats going on with life on the streets these days. The dead solid perfect deep soul vocalist knocks it out of the park yet again with a set thatll set your synapses to snapping. Classic stuff thats sure to become classic stuff. --Chris Spector, Midwest Review, Jan 2016, Chicago, ILJohnny Rawls latest release, Tiger In A Cage, finds the award-winning soul/blues man in fine form. A longtime veteran of the soul/blues circuit, Rawls has an uncanny knack of recreating the best qualities of the old-school Stax/Hi-era soul sounds while keeping things real and relevant enough to appeal to both the older and newer audiences. As on Rawls previous Catfood releases, hes backed by one of the best bands in the business, The Rays. If youre already a fan of Johnny Rawls, I dont have to tell you how good this album is. If youre a newcomer to to Soul/blues, you need this disc in your collection. This is as good as modern soul/blues gets. --Graham Clarke, Blues Bytes, Feb/Mar 2016On his seventh album for Catfood, Johnny Rawls continues with the casual brilliance he displayed on his previous ones. As always, his soul-blues singing holds a singular combination of gentlemanly authority and painfully felt vulnerability on top-grade original tunes and choice covers. Supported by his superb band called the Rays, Rawls addresses a song characters drug addiction on the title track and captures the pure radiance of Memphis soul on Red Cadillac. The Mississippi-born vocalist makes intuition and imagination go hand-in-hand when teamed up with singer Eden Brent for the Louisiana swamp tune Southern Honey. Rawls and company wring fresh dramatic detail out of classics identified with Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke and the Rolling Stones. --Frank-John Hadley, Downbeat, May 2016
