Johnny Adams, a name familiar to most anyone who has ever purchased a southern soul compilation, worked his magic last Friday night. An inspired choice, my friend served up Adams’s Heart & Soul LP on wax while cracking into a bottle of Jameson just before dinner. The album kicks off with one of the best paeans to missing Georgia, while in Los Angeles, that I know of. Thanks Matt and Jenn.

I will NEVER date another woman with musical taste, but I will go buy lots of the old stuff I had at emusic right now!!
