CAN'T TOUCH THIS

I don't know what particular taste of mine Rufus Thomas appeals to. Sure funk, soul, Stax and all of that. But there's something else about him that I dig that really isn't tangible. Maybe it is, I don't know. That's another thing about him. He defies you to overthink things. You just to go with it.
