Jackie Payne showed off his soulful R&B vocals as he collaborated with Betty Harris. The former lead singer in the Johnny Otis Band for 15 years strutted his stuff like the old days when he worked with such luminaries as Gatemouth Brown, T-Bone Walker, Freddie King, Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland, and others. Payne has a remarkable, classic vintage R&B and Soul voice, which has been defined as Stax meets Chess. Guitarist Steve Edmonson, who also performed with Harris and has a band with Payne, toured for years as a member of the Bay Area band Dynatones. A horn-driven Blues band, he has also worked with Van Morrison, James Cotton, and Luther Tucker.
