A medium tempo gospel flavored song about a burning desire to change one's life. My soul's on fire is a statement of redemption and a cry from the "road" remembering a different time and a plea to those around to just "keep it light." Male Vocals, RnB, Southern Soul
A med. tempo song about being surrounded by "Crazy People." No matter where you go, where you sleep, they are all around you. When you are at the crossroads of life, don't listen to the (crazy people) about what to do. Follow your own path and, if you make mistakes, at least they are your own! Male Vocals, RnB, Memphis Soul
A bluesy R&B tune in the style of the old Saturday Night Live theme. Perfect for closing credits. Saxophone and guitar drive this gospel type blues in three/four time. Emotional and driving, sentimental and emotional. Romantic drama, slow dancing, urban nights in big cities. A bit lonely and bluesy. Instrumental, RnB, Soul
A medium up tempo song about someone who wants to get away. Perhaps fed up with life as he or she knows it. Maybe a broken relationship, bad job etc., but whatever the case is, they are leaving and in no uncertain terms. Could be a musician looking for a new gig. Male Vocals, RnB, Memphis Soul
A contemporary sounding ballad about living in a small town and the restlessness of some of those that live there. Dreaming about getting away, to a new and exciting place. The middle section consists of a swinging jazz section and then breaks back into original ballad beat and style. Male Vocals, RnB, RnB Ballads
A story of Johnny & The MoTones' road trip to Sun Studios, Memphis, TN and the experiences thereof. Including the unfortunate, untimely demise of a cat that committed the ultimate sacrifice as it jumped out in front of our Caddy. Male Vocals, RnB, Memphis Soul
A slower heartfelt power bluesy ballad about someone who is basically wonderful!! A full band with horn section. It could be about a lover, a friend or a family member. Waiting for that time when they may be reunited. Male Vocals, RnB, Soul
