Now It's Legit. Not long ago I spotlighted a liberation song written and sung by Garth Brooks, the country singer who is not most people's idea of a substance-filled artist. I love the song. A new cover of the song might just give it the credibility it needs. Sam Moore--the "Sam" in the 1960's R&B duo "Sam & Dave"--has release a new album that features the song. In fact, the album--"Overnight Sensation"--is a great genre-crossing mix of R&B, gospel, rock, and crossing featuring Moore singing with (among others) Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Sting and Sheila E. (on a cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "None of Us Are Free), and others. It's my new favorite album.

I listened to a few lines of None of us are Free and sounds good enough to test for the albumn. Hold on I'm Coming is a good memory of Moore, way back when.. NPR like him too. So nice to get good song tips. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5663330
