JOHNNY ADAMS "The Tan Nightingale"

Excellent Southern Soul! This compilation covers some of Johnny’s best tracks from the 60’s into the 70’s on labels like Ric, SSS, and others, including his two biggest hits, the stately "Release Me" and the truly stunning "Reconsider Me."After a prolonged dry spell, Adams resurfaced in 1968 with an impassioned R&B revival of Jimmy Heap's country standard "Release Me" for Shelby Singleton's SSS imprint that blossomed into a national hit. Even more arresting was Adams' magnificent 1969 country-soul classic "Reconsider Me," his lone leap into the R&B Top Ten; in it, he swoops effortlessly up to a death-defying falsetto range to drive his anguished message home with fervor.
