Today's Morning Edition music is from "Hey Girl" a new album by Sonny Knight and the Lakers. There will be an album release party tomorrow night at First Avenue in Minneapolis.
Knight played in the Twin Cities funk group Haze in the 1970s. When that band broke up, he quit the music business and became a truck driver. But the founder of Minneapolis-based Secret Stash Records, Eric Foss, convinced Knight to start performing again.
They assembled a band, put on some spirited live shows and now they have an album entitled "I'm Still Here."
