Little Willie John - Nineteen Sixty Six: The Axelrod and HB Bar - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2008 , 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. Album Tracks 1. Country Girl Aka Home at Last (Take 8) 2. Suffering with the Blues (Take 4) 3.
