Seldom have a singer and a songwriter been so perfectly paired. Percy Mayfield is often characterized as the great poet of the blues, and Johnny Adams is one of the finest vocalists of the rhythm and blues era. These performances evoke a moody, late night feeling as Johnny and the band poke into the corners of feeling in Mayfield's lyrics. Includes the previously unrecorded 'My Heart is Hanging Heavy.'
