    Today we’re going to talk about the country soul scene with Kashus Culpepper’s soulful song “Pour Me Out”! This tune has got the kind of raw authenticity that makes blues music what it is—a bittersweet reflection of life’s ups and downs, and it hits hard!

    Let’s take a second to soak in those lyrics. The song is a classic setup that reels you right into the story—every note and every line feels like a familiar struggle. “Acting like we're just friends,”—oh, the sweet agony of unrequited feelings! It’s like he’s pouring his heart out to us, and we can’t help but sympathize with his plight.

    And then we dive deeper—we’ve got the imagery of running on empty, drowning in those strong feelings for someone who seems just out of reach. You can feel the weight of those words! “My heart ain't a hundred proof,” he sings, and that tells you everything you need to know. He’s vulnerable; he’s real. He’s not trying to impress anyone with bravado; he knows where he stands, and he’s ready for the cold, hard truth.

    It’s when the chorus comes in where he pleads, “If you don't wanna drink me, baby / Don't sip me, baby / Just pour me out.” Man, that’s the heart of the song right there! It’s a brilliant metaphor, comparing love to a drink—a beautiful concoction that someone might enjoy or leave untouched. It captures that feeling of desperation and desire, the want to be more than just an afterthought, more than just another round at the bar. And doesn’t that speak to us all?

    Culpepper’s voice—the way he pours his heart into each note—it takes you right to the bottom of that glass, where all the truth hides. It’s a blend of sorrow and strength, a reflection of vulnerability that is so often missing in today’s music landscape.

    So folks, if you haven’t yet, pour yourself a glass of something strong—maybe sit back, relax, and listen to Kashus Culpepper’s “Pour Me Out”. It’s a country blues experience that captures love and longing, and it just might leave you feeling like you’ve had your own heart poured out.

    Georgia Morning Dew is from the Heart & Soul is a compilation album by American blues musician Johnny Adams. Released in 1969 by SSS International, the record was produced by Shelby Singleton and contains much of Adams' 1960s output.

    Heart & Soul largely blends 1960s gospel, soul, pop, blues, country and funk. "Georgia Morning Dew" has been described as "bouncy country-funk" that provides a "giddy, melancholy counterpart to Adams' throaty proclamations."

    When I listen to Georgia Morningdew through the horns and screen instrument I hear country when Johnny Adams sings.

    Standing on this mountain
    Looking over LA
    At the break of day
    Takes my mind back to Georgia
    Many years ago
    When I was just a babe
    Papa'd plow up the fields
    And we'd walk behind


    When I hear Johnny sing about the mountain and plowing up the field, I know that's country with the tune and words to the song.

    I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Country Soul Show.

    Walking in the Rain in Memphis by Nellie Tiger Travis is categorized under the genre blues. It has some elements of country blues.

    Left my hometown Chicago
    Chasing my dream with you


    That's how the song starts out. It's a beautiful blues. Things start out great leaving the hometown Chicago, but after getting to Memphis, things began to change. Nellie Tiger Travis sings Walking in the Rain in Memphis.

    The single comes from her 2017 album Mr. Sexy Man. You might know Travis by her single If I Back It Up. She made other songs like Baby Mama Drama, and You Gonna Make Me Cheat from her 2021 album Wanna Be With You.

    If you haven't heard Nelly Tiger Travis and the single Walking In The Rain in Memphis, give it a listen. It's a beautiful song. It's a song you might wanna hear in some relaxation.
