Soul Strutter review Robert Johnson [2021] - So the Story Goes [Jakarta Records Ltd] (Full Album) This album by Robert Johnson is possibly not everyone's cup of tea but is a classy 'crooner' album. It includes one of the classiest songs ever written (IMHO) "Everything Must Change" by Benard Ighner and originally recorded on Quincy Jones 1974 album Body Heat, so that had me drawn in right from the off, and what a terrific version! If you only listen to one track from the album then please make it this one and if you enjoy it then check out Phil Perry's live version from 2015! He is a jazz singer and has released at least another two albums "All Blue" in 2018 and "Richard The Third" in 2015. The new album "So the Story Goes" (released 30 Sep 2021) is all original material that he has been involved in the writing for except for a cover of Gregory Porter's "Hey Laura" (Liquid Spirit 2013) and Ingher's "Everything Must Change". A couple of other tracks that stood out include "What About Me" (which features an uncredited female vocalist) and the stepper "You Bring Me Joy" which at first I thought might have been a cover of Anita Baker but it's not.
