John Henry Kurts (1972) Drift Away

The song Drift Away was a soul and rock classic when sung by Texan Dobie Gray. But this was the first released version and this more country rock version has a better guitar arrangement. And while JHK dose not possess the same vocal chops as Gray his vocals fit the melody better. A smooth less forced delivery that traces this soul number back to its laid back roots, which match the laid back lyrics that are the most crucial element of all versions of this song.
