Our Take

Rufus Thomas is back on the scene with his latest album "Walking The Dog," an energetic and infectious blend of soul, R&B, and blues that will have you grooving from start to finish.

From the moment the opening track hits your ears, you can tell that Rufus Thomas is a seasoned pro who knows how to get a crowd moving. His soulful vocals are paired perfectly with funky basslines and energetic horn sections, creating a sound that is both classic and fresh at the same time.

One standout track is the titular "Walking The Dog," a timeless classic that will have you singing and dancing along in no time. The catchy chorus and irresistible groove make this a standout track that you'll want to keep on repeat.

But it's not just the upbeat numbers that shine on this album - Thomas also shows his versatility with slower, more emotive tracks like "The Dog," which showcase his ability to tug at your heartstrings as well as get you on your feet.

Overall, "Walking The Dog" is a must-listen for any fan of soul, R&B, or good music in general. Rufus Thomas has proven once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, and this album is just the latest example of his talent and creativity. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to hit the dance floor with Rufus Thomas - you won't be disappointed.

Rufus Thomas

Rufus Thomas was the living embodiment of soul and funk, a larger-than-life figure in the music industry with a distinctive voice and infectious energy. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1917, Thomas began his career as a radio DJ before transitioning to singing and performing in the 1950s. With his hits like "Walkin' the Dog" and "Do the Funky Chicken," Rufus Thomas brought the party wherever he went. His energetic performances and quirky dance moves made him a beloved figure in the world of R&B and soul music. Known for his signature tambourine-shaking and funky style, Thomas was a true entertainer who always knew how to get the crowd dancing. In addition to his solo career, Rufus Thomas also collaborated with his daughter Carla Thomas, creating classic duets such as "Cause I Love You" and "Night Time Is the Right Time." Together, they became known as the "King and Queen of Memphis Soul," solidifying their place in music history. Despite his success, Rufus Thomas remained humble and down-to-earth, always prioritizing the joy of music over fame and fortune. His infectious charisma and undeniable talent continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike.
