Whenever Johnny Adams does a repertory album, it's as much his own showcase as a forum for the spotlighted composer. Even Percy Mayfield's lyrically brilliant works don't hamper Adams from displaying his special magic; his treatments on the session's ten tunes range from excellent to magnificent. Adams is gripping on "My Heart Is Hangin' Heavy," nicely bemused on "The Lover and the Married Woman," and convincing on the title track and "Danger Zone." Although he's done numerous Rounder vehicles, Adams hasn't yet turned in a dud. ~Ron Wynn

Thanks BT! I have his 1969 Heart & Soul album. I am looking forward to hearing his rendition of these songs! :)
This is an amazing album. One of my dessert island discs. Don't pass on this one. Thanks, BT!
Fantastic! Not only is Johnny Adams great but the band is the cream of the crop, too. And, for sure, when you cooperate with the great Duke you just can't miss. Thank you for posting, BT.
Great! Thanks BT!
It was a great listen. Thanks again BT! :)
This is definitely a classic album by any measure - I think this would be one of my choices for my 10 "desert island records" that I would want to have if I were stranded on a desert island.
I have owned a copy of this for decades, and I keep pulling out this album a few times a year to listen to.
Can you please re-up this CD?

A great album, a true classic as is the Doc Pomus tribute that came after this.
@daba:
Thank you very much for this album.
I love slow blues.
And this one with the little jazzy touch is great.
Thank you.
Johnny's entire Rounder Records catalogue is simply fantastic. Not a bad record to be found. Thanks for turning people onto Johnny, guys.
Any chance of a re-up of this wonderful recording? Thanks in advance!!!
