Nuff scorchers.
At Philadelphia International in 1976. With Blues Away.
Super-rare Chicago sweet soul LP, originally out on Arrow Brown’s Bandit label. ‘A string-laden fantasia straddling the street corner doo-wop of the ‘50s and the Me Decade’s studio excess. Backed by the Chosen Few and the Scott Brothers, arranged by Benjamin Wright, sung by Brown’s 17-year-old daughter Tridia and Moroccos falsetto Larry Brown.’ Lovey artwork by label-mate Eugene Phillips clinches the DIY, outsider appeal.
A superb double-header, by way of Joe Evans’ New York label Carnival: a stylish, soulful dancer, and a beautiful harmony ballad.
