The latest single from the Soul Seekers’ marvelous sophomore project is “Come On Jesus.” It is a deliciously soulful performance that harkens back to the gut-wrenching, hard-singing, guitar-led work of quartets that was particularly popular during the 1960s.

Lyrically, the song begins with a plea to the Lord to take care of us individually “in the midnight hour,” but concludes with a call for national intervention, including some disaster recovery work: “go down to New Orleans/Clean up that Gulf Coast.”
