Jim Alfredson Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah Jim, I liked the sound of it. I will certainly buy a copy of your album. FYI, CDU shows this selection as backordered... that's a good thing right?! Indeed. Don't let that scare you. Order it and it will ship in a timely manner.

paul secor Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Try this for size His debut album is even better but mainly without the stipulated horn section. And if you like that one, you might want to go back to the beginning: Mighty Sam: Papa True Love - The Amy Sessions (Sundazed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Some other soul singers with horns and (sometimes, anyway) organ: James Carr - I have his Goldwax sides on Vivid (Japan), but Kent or Ace (UK) - same outfit - has issued at least two CDs of this material - not to be missed. Percy Sledge - Pick up a collection of his Atlantic recordings. He doesn't need an organ on his records (tho it's usually there) - his voice has an organ sound - at least to my ears. The epitome of subtle Southern soul. Oscar Toney Jr.: Oscar's Winners (Westside) - A voice so soulful it hurts. Dyke and the Blazers: So Sharp! (Kent UK) - It gets no funkier, rawer, and down than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rep Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 May I suggest the album "Thats Your Booty", it is by Calvin Owens and His Blues Orchestra. realy great brass and horns and a variety of singers. This album makes me feel good but I don't like Calvins singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album makes me feel good but I don't like Calvins singing. Thanks for your recommendation. There was an interview of Owens in an issue of Cadence last year which made me curious how his group sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I would also add Tobacco Road, by Lou Rawls. Bluesy, shoutin', swingin' big band arrangements by Onzy Matthews, featuring Bud Brisbois on lead trumpet and saxophonist Sonny Criss. Early Lou (1963?), unfortunately not on CD. (Just got an LP copy on eBay, awaiting arrival!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
