    Georgia Morning Dew is from the Heart & Soul is a compilation album by American blues musician Johnny Adams. Released in 1969 by SSS International, the record was produced by Shelby Singleton and contains much of Adams' 1960s output.

    Heart & Soul largely blends 1960s gospel, soul, pop, blues, country and funk. "Georgia Morning Dew" has been described as "bouncy country-funk" that provides a "giddy, melancholy counterpart to Adams' throaty proclamations."

    When I listen to Georgia Morningdew through the horns and screen instrument I hear country when Johnny Adams sings.

    Standing on this mountain
    Looking over LA
    At the break of day
    Takes my mind back to Georgia
    Many years ago
    When I was just a babe
    Papa'd plow up the fields
    And we'd walk behind


    When I hear Johnny sing about the mountain and plowing up the field, I know that's country with the tune and words to the song.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Country Soul Show.

    Walking in the Rain in Memphis by Nellie Tiger Travis is categorized under the genre blues. It has some elements of country blues.

    Left my hometown Chicago
    Chasing my dream with you

    That's how the song starts out. It's a beautiful blues. Things start out great leaving the hometown Chicago, but after getting to Memphis, things began to change. Nellie Tiger Travis sings Walking in the Rain in Memphis.

    The single comes from her 2017 album Mr. Sexy Man. You might know Travis by her single If I Back It Up. She made other songs like Baby Mama Drama, and You Gonna Make Me Cheat from her 2021 album Wanna Be With You.

    If you haven't heard Nelly Tiger Travis and the single Walking In The Rain in Memphis, give it a listen. It's a beautiful song. It's a song you might wanna hear in some relaxation.

    Taj Mahal is a blues musician and actor. He plays the guitar, piano, banjo, harmonica, and many other instruments, often incorporating elements of world music into his work.

    Taj Mahal has a single called Corinna. The song was written by the blues man and musicologist and released on his 1968 album Natch’l blues. The song sounds like a soul country blues and I love it. Corinna is a great song with great rhythm. Mahal has a great voice. I love the harmonica sound and all the instruments played in the song. It is a song well done. His song Corinna has a beautiful natural sound. I love Taj Mahal's sound.

    You’re listening to the Country Soul Show. I’m your host, Gail Nobles.
