Joe Mayfield
The terminally obscure Joe Mayfield cut this rare hunk of deep soul magic in 1964 and what a triumph it is. Check out his cracked vocal and obvious pain as he meets an old flame. The bluesy guitar, electric piano and subdued horns add to the mood of "How's Things With You" beautifully. Joe’s other 45 for La Salle/Rocket is straight blues.
