I seem to have idiosyncratic taste in music as it is difficult for most people to recommend music to me. But Rick Saunders (of Deep Blues<\/a> notoriety) is apparently just as weird as I am because when he tells me, “You’re going to love this”, I can be confident that he’s right. Recently, Rick turned me on to the Soul of John Black, and when I say “turned me on”, I mean it in a couple of different ways. <\/p>\n

The first album from the Soul of John Black – which is the project of John Bigham who played guitar in Fishbone for eight years and has worked with the likes of Miles Davis and Dr. Dre – The Good Girl Blues<\/i> is a sultry, sexy collection of music calling to mind a sweaty night in a low-lit juke joint… and what happens after. Rick’s review of the album<\/a> is pretty spot-on to what I would write about it, except I would have added the phrase “panty-moistening” in there somewhere.<\/p>\n

Check out the four-alarm-fire of a track, “I Got Work” (which would have fit right in to my slow jams post<\/a>), from The Good Girl Blues<\/i>:<\/p>\n
