Description
|
|
|
|
This soulful, latter-day Otis Redding deserves his propers. He grew up with Sam Cooke and Junior Parker as models; his past includes tours with Ike and Tina Turner and six years as the featured vocalist with the Albert Collins' band. Lee’s a veteran of tony clubs as well as blues festival circuits. His live shows are legendary, but his albums are rare. This one was recorded back in the mid-1980s but wasn't released until 1994. The 12 tracks include “Don’t Make Me Cry” (his previous single of the song is now a collector’s item) as well as “Let the Good Times Roll,” “Ain’t That Peculiar?” “Party Down,” “Too Busy Thinking About My Baby,” “Finders Keepers,” “The Love You Save Today,” and “Rock My Soul” (yes, the man has gospel roots!). Like his pal Tina, Lee is adept at singing “nice” as well as “rough,” and his dynamic performances are enhanced by a top-level cadre of horns and background vocalists. "One of the most energetic blues voices of any time or place."—New York Daily News
