The Real Thing by D.A. Foster stands as a testament to soulful, timeless music, blending classic rhythm & blues with jazz influences. Produced by Foster’s longtime friends Tony Braunagel and Mike Finnigan, this album showcases his expressive vocals backed by the Grammy award-winning Phantom Blues Band and a cast of celebrated musicians.
Across twelve tracks, Foster delivers original and carefully chosen covers that highlight his depth as a performer, opening with Dave Steen’s funky “Good Man Bad Thing.” With rich B-3 organ, dynamic horns, and powerful guest contributions, The Real Thing is a vibrant journey through R&B and jazz traditions that fans of authentic, heartfelt music will appreciate.
