La Java
105, rue du faubourg du Temple Paris 10

One of the great odd couples of rock 'n soul these are the men behind a string of Muscle Shoals masterpieces.
They made the Box Tops Cry Like A Baby and Clarence Carter go down The Dark End of the Street,
Dan was the Do Right Man who succeeded in making Aretha Franklin a Do Right Woman,
and they Left the Water Running for Otis Redding.
Peerless songwriters and quirky raconteurs performing country-soul classics of their own making.

"The essentials-one guitar, one piano, two voices-and the greatest country soul songs ever." (Billboard) "A series of two or three minute psychodramas with a country sensibility, but written mainly for Southern soul acts in the sixties...are journeyman song-writing raised to a high art." (The Independent) "Some might call this brand of southern soul (with it's strong country feel) old fashioned - really its appeal is timeless." (The Daily Telegraph) "The songs may be old, but the humanity of this slice of pop life is a given. Dan and Spooner know the score." (Evening Standard)
