Description

In 1993, a 57-year-old Syl Johnson made a long overdue return to the studio with Back in the Game, his first album since the early ’80s. “Inspired” is definitely a word that describes Johnson’s performances on this CD, which unites him with the legendary Hi Rhythm Section of the ’70s. Joined by drummer Howard “Bulldog” Grimes and the Hodges brothers (guitarist Mabon, bassist Leroy, and organist/pianist Charles), including Ken Vandermark.
