With first-class production by Scott Billington, the delicious Crescent City combo led by longtime Johnny Adams' cohort Walter "Wolfman" Washington on guitar with Red Tyler on tenor sax, From the Heart features Adams' perennially luxurious pipes and stands as one of his finest contemporary outings. Nice song selections were tapped from the pens of Tony Joe White, Percy Mayfield, Sam Cooke, and Doc Pomus. Adams unfurls his "mouth trombone" -- an uncanny vocal 'bone imitation -- on Mayfield's "We Don't See Eye to Eye."
