Soul and bluesman Johnny Rawls, one of the last of the original deep soul singers, is back where he belongs, returning to Catfood Records after a rather inexplicable six-year absence. From 2008 through 2017 Rawls issued a strong string of eight albums on the label. Three of them made Downbeat magazine’s Critics Choice Best of the Year List. Now, with Walking Heart Attack Rawls taps into that winning formula – writing songs with label head Bob Trenchard, recording with The Rays, a terrific band for four horns and two background singers; and laying down the tracks at Trenchard’s favorite studio, the Sonic Ranch, near El Paso, TX. Rawls produced and Grammy-winning Jim Gaines mixed at his studio near Memphis, TN. These ten tracks include originals from Rawls, Trenchard, co-writes between the two, one by label mate and outstanding songwriter Derrick Procell, and some classics, one of which will probably surprise you.

Rawls has an immediate presence. As soon as he hits the stage, it’s impossible not to feel and begin dancing to his soulful grooves. The former guitarist and bandleader of soul legend O.V. Wright has been doing it for over fifty years and harnesses all the ingredients that make for great soul music. The Catfood situation suits him so well, with the great writing of Trenchard and now Procell, as well as a band that knows how to frame his vocals perfectly, The Rays – Johnny McGhee (guitar), Bob Trenchard (bass), Richy Puga (drums), Dan Ferguson (keyboards), Andy Roman (tenor saxophone and solos), Mike Middleton (trumpet), Nick Flood (alto, baritone, tenor saxophones), Frank Otero (trombone), Jon Olazabal (percussion), and backing vocals from Janelle Thompson and Shakara Weston. /Jim Hynes, Glide Magazine
