Sonny Green
For Southern Soul Blues performed with grit, wit, and sartorial splendor, there is only one man to go to: Los Angeles-by-way-of-Louisiana singer Sonny Green. Coming from the same emotional and musical place as his barroom-philosophizing contemporaries Johnny Taylor, Bobby Patterson, and Little Milton, Green's "Jody's On The Run" is considered a classic in the endless canon of backroom cheating songs.
