Twenty-first-century soul man John "JB" Bigham blends the sounds of Stax and the space age on Good Thang, the latest from his musical alter-ego The Soul of John Black. Good Thang explores R&B, rock, pop, and electronica, but it's all about love: JB's love for classic soul and blues, love of driving old-school synth-funk bass, and, most important, love for his family. Anchoring the collection of feel-good grooves are the title track and "Lil Mama's in the Kitchen" - graceful essays on the joys of domestic bliss that capture Good Thang's daring mix of organic sounds and cutting-edge production.
