When I’m out looking for records, I often buy it if it has a cool cover, which is the case with The Pathway Quartet’s religious bluegrass LP, Soul Man.  I was at an Ypsilanti church yard sale, thumbing through a box under the table when I found it.  At first glance, I thought the bluegrass band from Sandusky, Ohio was going to do a cover of Sam and Dave’s famous Memphis Stax song.  When I got home, I discovered the soul man they were singing about wasn’t themselves, but Jesus! 

But I say: Sam, Dave, Jesus and The Pathway Quartet were all soul men (and women).

 and see if you agree!
