Welcome to Podcast & Blues .I'm Gail Nobles. Today's topic is Syl Johnson Anyway the Wind Blows.

Syl Johnson is a blues and soul singer, musician, songwriter and record producer. His most successful records included "Different Strokes" (1967), "Is It Because I'm Black" (1969) and "Take Me to the River" (1975).

 He has a song from his album Back for a Taste of Your Love titled Anyway The Wind Blows. The album was released in 1973 the album was re-issued by the Fat Possum label.
The song Anyway the Wind Blows was written by Earl Randle.  He was a songwriter and a A&R man at Willie Mitchell's Hi  Records from 1971 to 1980. Anyway the Wind Blows is a very good song. Johnson's voice, music, and style reminds me of Al Green singing the song. His label was Al Green however at Hi Records. Johnson was always to some extent in the shadow of Al Green.

 If you love Al Green and haven't heard Syl Johnson’s song Anyway the Wind Blows, I'm sure you'll love it. So check out the song today. Thank you for tuning into Podcast and Blues, and remember,  check out Syl  Johnson's song Anyway the Wind Blows.
