Lou Johnson专辑介绍：by Jason Ankeny Given the caliber of his collaborators alone, it's remarkable that Lou Johnson didn't emerge as one of the premier soul singers of his generation--his second and final LP With You in Mind pairs him with New Orleans R&B production maestros Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn , and while the earthy, gut-check southern soul idiom fits Johnson's river-deep vocals like a glove, the album's commercial failure proved the final blow to his star-crossed recording career. Listeners who know Johnson solely from his dramatic Bacharach/David records will be flabbergasted by the scope and elasticity of his vocals--the uptown sophistication of "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" and "Kentucky Bluebird" is replaced by a physical strength and heartbreaking intimacy comparable to the best music forged in Memphis or Muscle Shoals.
