[R&B] Willie Hightower is a proud grandfather of six. And he definitely has the southern soul legend crowning glory. Sounding like a cross between Sam Cooke and Otis Redding,Ewith a dash of Little Richard thrown in, Hightower singpreaches—a word I’ve created just for him—“Walk a Mile in My Shoes,” a song with funky bass lines and strong horns.EActually, there’s a heavy dose of bass, horns and piano throughout the album, making it a timeless R&B classic and a must-have in your CD collection. Break it down, grandpa Willie, with your soulful raspy voice! —Astralwerks Records 2005 [KIMBERLY L. WELCH]
