In the fall, me, mrs. anchovy, and the emperor of ephemera visited soulsville USA in memphis...one of the exhibits was Isaac Hayes' caddilac, complete with gold-plated tire nuts and a beer cooler in the backseat....he wore funky outfits too.....the highlight of memphis though, was standing on the spot where johnny cash sang I walk the line in Sun Studios.

This CD is very good. Quite mellow and enjoyable. Addictive, also.
He does a version of "The Look of Love", which can be found on the "Dead Presidents" soundtrack. A must listen.
