Disney+'s Soul will warm your heart with its uplifting story, but it will also bless your ears with its incredible soundtrack. The film, which premiered on Christmas, follows a middle-school band teacher named Joe (Jamie Foxx) who has big dreams to become a famous jazz musician. However, when he finally gets his big break, he is transported to another realm where he must help a young soul named 22 find her spark so that he can return back to his body on Earth. Since the film centers around an aspiring musician, there are a handful of incredible songs throughout, but the most notable musical moment isn't actually one of Joe's songs.
During a scene in the subway station, Joe and 22 happen upon a very talented singer. As the singer strums the guitar and croons beautiful lyrics about love, it's hard not to get lost in their incredible voice. So, just who is the talented musician? The subway singer is voiced by R&B singer Cody Chesnutt. In fact, the Atlanta native wrote, produced, and performed the track featured in the film, which is titled Parting Ways.
In addition to appearing on the Soul soundtrack, Chesnutt has a handful of other notable singing credits. In 2002, Chesnutt released a double LP titled The Headphone Masterpiece, which received positive reviews from critics. The album even caught the attention of The Roots, who rerecorded the track The Seed for their album Phrenology. Chesnutt even appears in the music video for the updated track! Interestingly enough, Soul also features an appearance from The Roots' drummer QuestLove, who voices Curly in the film.

I was always a non-conformist and basically an unsupervised child. I first picked up an acoustic guitar in 1963 and began listening to Folk Singers like Odetta, Dylan, Leadbelly and Josh White. Odetta was a Civil rights activist. Although she grew up in the city, she described black folk music and spirituals as “liberation songs and used this music to “do my teaching and preaching, my propagandizing.” Both Odetta and Bob Dylan sang at the 1963 Civil Rights March in Washington DC. The anti-establishment counter cultural phenomenon was developing in the United States at this time. The heart of the action began with the beat movement in New York City and then spread to San Francisco. Greenwich Village was where I went to immerse myself in a hotbed of early countercultural activity. In the coming years classic rock bands with a influence hit the airwaves. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Cream, and others covered eats such as Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, and Slim Harpo on their albums. Muddy said the had a baby and they called it Rock and Roll. Drugs such as marijuana and LSD were now embedded into the counter culture. In 1968-69 I played my share of Moratoriums to End the War in Vietnam. I wanted to be in the heart of the action so I moved to California in 1973. I jammed with many popular band members from the Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, and the Quicksilver Messenger Service. Playing in the San Francisco bay area was great. There were lines of beautiful women in front of the stage at my feet passing me lit joints and their phone numbers. We took the party with us wherever we played in Europe, Asia, and the USA. I have found that people around the world are basically the same. We all want food, clothing, shelter, love and entertainment. I see the world through the prism of music and love. Everywhere I go these days I hear the same complaint in 1, 000 different ways we don’t have enough money. That view never changes and people everywhere confirm it. A small group of very rich people essentially control everything and we are all just trying to get by. That’s why they call it the .
The impact is clear. We started with a line in one place and we crossed it. So, they redrew the line and we crossed that one. On and on it went until society eventually changed. Sex, art, music, video games, violence were expanded to appease the minds of those who had grown tired of the old ways. That’s why I love the and -rock it keeps me grounded.

If there was any money in the , they would call it the greens. In the 40’s and 50’s the African-American musicians were confined to the “Chitlin Circuit.” After the white bands brought notoriety to Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry and others they were invited to play venues like the Newport Folk Festival and large concert venues. Listen to Elvis interpret Big Mamma Thornton’s version of Hound Dog. All early Rock and Roll songs are just like following the 12-bar format with just a different drum beat. Groups like Cream, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Who and Jimi Hendrix really moved the needle. The Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock were landmark music festivals. The flower power generation and the hippie movement were all a result of this musical evolution and the new counter culture surrounding it. It is no wonder researchers are consumed with the time period it was the greatest.
In a Bucket is a culmination everything I had learned since I began writing and recording songs. The performances of each song are as good as it gets with your clothes on. That goes double for the sound quality, instrumentation, mixing and mastering. I have dedicated the CD to my brother, Steve, who I lost in January 2019 to cancer, and to anyone who has lost a loved one to this terrible disease. The song Blue Morning Sun tells that story. A related song, “Go to the light, ” was written with positive and spiritual energy for those that have crossed over after passing. “Boogie me till I drop” has a great New Orleans party feel, so I started the CD with it to get everyone in good spirit. I was in China a few years ago and feeling lonely for the USA. I thought about two great towns—Memphis and Chicago and that led me to write “Windy
