Rita Coolidge - Beautiful Evening: Live In Japan - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Effortlessly blending pop, country, blues, soul, gospel, and rock, Grammy-winning Rita Coolidge is one of the great female singer-songwriters of our time, but crucial parts of her recorded legacy have remained fallow in the CD era. Now, Real Gone Music is releasing Beautiful Evening-Live in Japan, an extremely rare 1980 concert album that was originally released on LP only in Japan, Hong Kong and Australia. This record captures Rita Coolidge at the height of her powers and international popularity, with a crack band featuring Booker T. Jones, Michael Warren, Salvatore Guglielmi, Mike Utley, Richard Adelman, Phyllis Battell and Carlena Williams. The set list is just killer, with big hits from throughout her career, like Inch(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher,Inch InchI'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love,Inch a solo version of her then-current hit duet with Glen Campbell, InchSomethin Bout You, Baby I Like,Inch her smash version of the Chiffons' InchOne Fine Day,Inch InchFever,Inch and InchFool That I Am.Inch And for an Inchencore,Inch we have rounded up five studio tracks issued on various Japanese singles and albums that have never before surfaced in the U.S. Worldwide CD debut and first U.S. of any kind, featuring notes by Joe Marchese with quotes from InchThe Delta LadyInch herself!
