Description
John Gary Williams, lead singer of Mad Lads fame, returns to the studio as a solo artist for the first time since STAX Records’ 1970s closure with two original songs that smoothly restate his soul credentials. “Natural Kind of Thing” and its B side, “My Kind of Lady,” feature a who’s who of Memphis musicians led by producer Scott Bomar including James Alexander (Bar-Kays), Willie Hall, Lester Snell, Michael Toles and the late “Shaft” guitarist Skip Pitts. Recorded at Electraphonic Studios in Memphis, TN, “A Natural Kind of Thing” places Williams right where he belongs in the pantheon of Stax vocal greats who seem to defy age and continue to turn in timeless performances.
