The Soul of John Black is headed by Miles Davis protégé and former Fishbone member, John Bigham. After dropping a self-titled debut album in 2003, TSoJB is back with the follow up to that venture.

Truth be told, you can just stop reading this right now and go to directly to your local record store or iTunes or wherever the hell you download music for free online - you friggen criminals - and grab The Good Girl Blues.

This album is an absolute must own for anyone who thinks talented blues musicians possessing silky smooth singing voices, capable of infusing incredibly original songs with R&B, soul, and funk are extinct. They’re not. The Soul of John Black is proof.

The fact that this group is under the radar says all you need to know about the crumby pop music scene but, lucky for you, you don’t have to miss out.

A modest suggestion, if I may: grab your gal/guy, pop in TSoJB’s The Good Girl Blues, fire up something kind and enjoy the evening indoors. Do it. You’ll thank me.
