The pub rock legend bares his soul on his fourth collection of foundation classics. Recorded in the American South, Barnes gives it his all, recruiting The Memphis Boys (the backing band for Aretha Franklin, Joe Tex, even Elvis) and guitar slinger Steve Cropper for authentic feel. Little-known b-sides like “She’s Looking Good” and “Hard Working Woman” amplify his debt to soul shouters like Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding.
