Philly native Lil John Roberts has become one of the most sought-after drummers in the world. And his work with virtually every major jazz soul music heavyweight, from George Duke to Janet Jackson, has set him up beautifully for his own career up front. And he has wowed SoulTrackers with his recent debut album.
We're now proud to be presenting a new single from the album, which John performs with legendary singer and songwriter, Kipper Jones. "Closer to the Source" is an uber-infectious cover of a Leroy Hutson composition. As Kipper explains, "I couldn't be more honored to be a part of Mr. Hutson's creation of soul and spirituality, with John's musicianship and vision!." John adds, "When I first heard the original of this song by Leroy Hutson on 91.9 WCLK in Atlanta, thanks to Jamal Ahmad, I immediately knew I was going to remake it and feat a soulful singer like Kipper Jones."
We think you're going to love this collab between two great talents. Check out "Closer to the Source" and tell us what you think!
