Description:
Miss Rhythm and Miss Blues, two of the most exciting singers to ever grace a recording studio.
The Ruth Brown session is her only Muscle Shoals session and was produced, arranged and written by the legendary Swamp Dogg. Travis Wammack, Lenny LaBlanc, Clayton Ivy, Jimmy Evans and Swamp Dogg comprises the always mood accurate rhythm section. Naturally, Ruth captures every mood of every song and carries the listener with her.
Ruth further solidifies why she garnered so many gold records and top ten hits throughout her career.
Sandra Phillips went to Macon, Georgia and was recorded at the famed Capricorn Studio. With Robert ôPopö Popwell bass), Pete Carr (guitar), Paul Hornsby (organ), Johnny Sandlin (drums) and Swamp Dogg (piano) as her rhythm section, the country-blues funk permeates her impeccable vocals, compared only to the Aretha Franklin sessions, produced by Jerry Wexler.
A star on Broadway and in movies (ôLean On Meö, ôRound Midnight, etc.) as Sandra Reeves-Phillips for almost four decades; she gives an amazing performance to every song. Sandra is fantastic!
The enclosed twenty page booklet, featuring contracts, letters, color photos, etc., is worth the price to collectors without the music.
