DESCRIPTION
2008 release, the first time on CD for one of the great lost albums of the '60s. Some of the classiest and best Soul-Blues ever committed to tape has remained unheard - until now. Recorded for Capitol in early 1966 while Little Willie John was awaiting final sentencing for manslaughter, the album was mired in a raft of contractual arguments and was put 'on ice' once it became clear that Willie was going to have to serve a prison term and wouldn't be able to promote it. This CD contains everything that Willie cut for Capitol and is enhanced by a selection of stereo mixes and alternate versions from the sessions. Arranged and produced by two music legends, HB Barnum and David Axelrod, it features the cream of the mid-60s L.A. session musician scene and is topped off by one of the greatest Soul voices. This is a listening experience that no true Soul fan will want to miss. 20 tracks. Kent.
