Syl Johnson-Uptown Shakedown
Only 1 left in stock
$17.00
“A different sound than usual for Syl Johnson – but a record that still has loads of those amazing vocals we love from Syl! The style’s mostly modern soul – with a tightness that’s different from the grit of earlier Johnson albums – that mode in which other singers of the time were tightening up their bag too. The approach works especially well on the midtempo groovers – which have the bite of Johnson’s vocals providing a great contrast tot he smoother grooves of the instrumentation – in ways that really deepen the feel of the tunes, but in ways that are very different than classic work from Syl. Titles include “Mystery Lady”, “Blue Water”, “Who’s Gonna Love You”, “You’re The Star Of The Show”, “Gimme Little Sign”, and a 9 minute “Otis Redding Medley”.” –Dusty Groove
