Al Johnson is one of the all-time soul greats. First as a member of the great Unifics and then as a solo artist, songwriter and producer, Johnson has been the pride of DC.

Al is getting his new disc, Maybe the Fire Isn't Out, ready, but he decided to share with SoulTrackers a first listen with the album's lead single, "It's Real."  You won't hear it on radio yet, but you can hear it now with our new "First Listen."
