About this product

Johnny Brantley was primarily known as a prominent mover and shaker on the New York Soul music scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s, working with such iconic artists as Lee Moses, Jimi Hendrix, Ohio Players, The Isley Brothers and others - yet, as an arranger, producer and songwriter, his career dates back to the mid-1950s, when he worked with a couple of great R&B singers of the era in Ruth McFadden and Varetta Dillard. One of the only singles released that bears his name as an artist is the 45 InchThe PlaceInch b/w Inch Pot LuckInch originally released in 1958 as performed by Johnny Brantley's All-Stars. The dual instrumentals are a stirring cross between jump blues and rock n' roll, that feature exceptional playing by the instrumentalists involved, most likely a coterie of New York's top session players. Leroy Kirkland, (who is listed as a co-writer on the B-side) the famed American jazz and R&B guitar player, composer, conductor and arranger, is probably the arranger on the session - the excellent guitar work on both sides of the single could possibly be him as well. Regardless of who plays on the single, these two rockin' instrumentals are as good as it gets and are a fine example of the great R&B being produced during this period. The single was originally released on the Carlton tag, started in 1957 by Joe Carlton, a former A&R chief at RCA, who no doubt had access to the cream of the crop of New York session players. The tag folded in 1964, but during it's heyday produced some very interesting music, especially the ultra-rare single presented here, which has been lovingly remastered and finally made available in the digital domain. Album Tracks 1. The Place 2. Pot Luck

'Give Me One More Shot' (KM-CD-35) is the second album from our 'Koko Mojo' Mississippi roots series. The album offers an insight as to the birth place of rhythm 'n' blues artists. This album offers an interesting mixture of blues performances, all of which have trekked the passage of time and still sound fresh and vibrant. Upon migration many artists benefited from better production and distribution of their recordings and fame and fortune was the dream. The albums variety of sound features the man of mystery Robert Johnson, the obscure Jack Davis and Ike Turner along with several of his band members. Several 'Trumpet' artists are again featured with recordings for the tag and beyond, we include one Wally Mercer through association with 'Trumpet' Numerous artists migrated from their birth place, and for many Chicago was the blues mecca. Within this series the auditory of those who stayed within their home areas is clear, and for those who migrated mainly the backing was different, the blues became 'electric'. None the less rarely were the downholme blues intonations none apparent in the big city recordings. The African American folk traditions no matter where the musicians travelled were deep inside these performers. Every album has sleeve notes and 28 songs, mastered for the best possible sound available. The disc is housed in a cardboard sleeve, specially designed to avoid the use of plastic and be environmentally friendly. The albums are great to play at home and perfect for Dee Jays who within a few CD albums will find good dance-floor filling songs. Album Tracks 1. Robert Johnson - Preaching Blues 2. Boyd Gilmore - All in My Dreams 3. Sonny Boy Williamson and His House Rockers - Come on Back 4. Snooky Prior - You Tried to Ruin Me 5. Ike Turner - That's All I Need 6. Charley Booker - Charleys Boogie Woogie 7. J.B. Lenor - Give Me One More Shot
