In time you discover new yet old things..........2006-05-24

"Strawberry Letter 22," as I stand corrected, is the correct title (just listen to the lyrics contain within this track, it's not "Strawberry Letter 23"); I just found out that "Shuggie" is the original author for this song, I guess I missed that one...

His song inspired was covered by The Brothers Johnson's hit makers of (A&M Records Label) da "FUNK" music... Thank god for the evolution of music...

*notably, "Shuggie" played on stage with my Uncle "Pee Wee" Crayton and his dad Johnny Otis Sr.; as well as, a host of legendary blues fellas at the 1970 Monterey Jazz Festival ("Live at Monterey" CD ~ Johnny Otis)... These songs are packed with lots of innovation and freedom of unlimited expression, exhilarating to say the least!

this brotha is bad.......2005-12-02

man this is a smokin combo of shuggie albums, the brotha is bad! Everybody should know about this cat!

A nice companion to Inspiration Information.......2005-01-06

This is a double shot of Shuggie albums on one cd, so you get almost an entire 80 minutes worth of music. However, this cd costs a small fortune.

It's amazing that both albums were recorded when he was still a teenager. There seems to be a lot of overlap with 'Inspiration Information', most notably 'Strawberry Letter 23'.

The albums feature good blues-guitar playing. The music was very much ahead of its time and very much ahead of his age. Overall, there's lots of good solid blues/R&B here.

As a side note, I swear a lot of the instrumental licks have been sampled by hiphop throughout the years; they're stone-cold grooving at times!

This double of Shuggie is good stuff, especially if you liked Inspiration Information. I'd say it's almost better than that one because this features more vocal tracks. A little pricey though....

Shuggie--Leave it to Raven to put out such a fine reissue.......2004-02-23

Thanks to Luaka Bop, Shuggie Otis became sort of a backpackers' household name on the strength of the "Inspiration Information" reissue. The bonus cuts on this CD were a teaser for what remained only on dusty vinyl.

Well, thanks to Raven (sort of the Australian equivalent of Rhino), funk/soul fans finally have (most of) the rest of the picture. And you only have to hear Shuggie tear through the opening funk/blues strains of "Oxford Gray" to be converted. "Inspiration" fans will be pleased to hear "Strawberry Letter" and "Freedom Flight" in context (at last).

Genre-bending and genre-blending, Shuggie Otis was a little too baroquely ornate to be called "blues." But he was also much too expressive and emotionally direct to be lumped in with the 70s California folk singer/songwriters. He had a flow all his own: experimental without being opaque, exact without being tiring, and soulful without cliche.

Shuggie was definitely a musicians' musician; his multi-instrumentalist skills link him with one-man-band artists like Paul McCartney (1st solo record), Lenny Kravitz (Let Love Rule), Stevie Wonder (Talking Book), and Sly Stone (There's a Riot Goin On). Shuggie's do-everything-yourself tendencies came to fruition on "Inspiration Information," but you get to hear the seeds being planted on this reissue as Otis handles guitars, bass, vocals, organ, harpsichord, and piano.

For the classic rock fan whose soul/blues collection only goes as far as Jimi...

For the hiphop head who wants to hear the kind of hooks DJ Muggs would sample...

For the exacting music fan who wants to add another gem to your collection...

Product Description

Borrowing liberally from jazz, soul, world music and R & B, Kellylee Evans' debut "fight or flight?" is an ecletic treat, all held together by her rich, expressive voice. Listeners have long claimed that her music is a deceptive drug, creating an eerie calm yet energizing them at the same time. In 2004, Evans was the 2nd place winner of the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition held in Washington, D.C. Judges like Quincy Jones and Al Jarreau tapped this young singer as an upcomer to watch. This debut CD tells us why. With each successive note, she boldly lays the groundwork for a new era in original vocal jazz. This is a CD for any true collection.

Customer Reviews:

Knock your socks off.............2006-07-24

To hear her most memorable voice is a soulful experience.... To see her in person is not to be missed. Attended a JazzAspen benefit where she was performing -- and she is surely one of the most memorable artists to come down the jazz highway in recent years.... Fantastic!

Gotta get her CD.......2006-05-12

Fight or Flight is an amazing mix of rythms, sensitive lyrics, energy, and emotion. It doesn't feel like a first CD. The musicians are extraordinary, the arrangements superb, and Kellylee's voice becomes one of the best intruments in the mix. The result is a polished, moving set of tracks that gain at being listened to over and over again.

Comes from Gospel and the Blues - but is not Derivative.......2004-04-02

Those words from the critics have stuck with me for a long time. OK, I like Blues music. Any piece of jazz, particularly piano, with the word "blues" in the title will likely be fine with me. So, Ray Bryant has been a favourite of mine for a long time.

If there is one tune on this disc to recommend the whole album, it's St Louis Blues. The studio version here, while somewhat distant compared to the live Montreux version, can nevertheless make the claim that Ray Bryant owns this WC Handy tune. Discrete chord changes, dynamic range and time are all brilliant. Here's a jazz pianist doing a classic blues tune, coming from gospel and the blues himself, without being derivative. And distance can be a good thing, as it is here. This album is a good listen all the way through, and required listening for any Ray Bryant fan.

Moody........2001-07-19

Yes, even more Ray.

This one is a studio solo effort, and as usually , it's great.

It's kinda moody though. The first cut, "In De Back Room," doesn't spring to life like it does on other albums, feeling more determined than lively.

The whole album is like that. Sort of a bluesy, sepia toning of some Ray classics.

The fourth cut, "Blues in De Big Brass Bed" is perhaps one of the finest Ray performances on any album. Both sad and passionate, this piece weaves through more than seven minutes of the kind of blues that would make the Hooker proud.

There already is a Ray album called "Alone With The Blues," but were that name not taken, it might apply here.

Solo Disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-06-08

First off I'm one of Latocha's biggest fans. I was with Xscape day 1. I'm all for an artist trying to spread their wings and do something on their own, but this cd sound like some sh..
You can punch holes all through some of those so called ghetto beats coming from behind those 16th year old lyrics. Now you know grown up means doing some grown up things. Latocha has too much passion behind that voice to reduce herself to this nonsense. I've had this disc for a while, but never got a chance to express my displeasure. I'm a true fan I ain't gonna lie to one of my queens, this ain't pumping. Love peace and all that stuff D.

Customer Reviews:

A Texas Southern University homegrown band.......2006-11-12

The previous reviewer mistakenly name the University as Texas State University. The correct name is Texas Southern University. As the album cover implies, this CD is horn heavy. If you have ever heard "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells, this was the band that played behind him during the recording. The album is a mixture of the late 60's soul, horn harmonies that remind me of the harmonies of the ska music of that era. There is also a touch of James Brown-like playing.

Mixed Bag.......2006-02-23

The TSU Tornadoes, the crack Houston Funk outfit of Texas State University, were an R&B ensemble that could hold their own with the likes of the memphis Horns, Jr. Walker's Allstars, James Brown's JBs, and Virginia's Church Street 5. Unfortuantely, while this Cd has some good numbers in that tradition, there are a few real clunkers on this CD.

"Getting the Corners," released later in 1968 than the signature tune "Tighten Up" that put them on the map, is in the happy spirit of the better known tune. "The Blautch," especially the snappy faux-ending, is a precursor to the line-dance soul songs (Cha Cha slide, Mississippi Slide, etc) of recent times. "Back After the News" and "Song For Princess" are interesting instrumentals that would appeal to the listener after a few tries. But they are not great singers. "Work on It" in particular sounds like a bad James Brown imitation and "A Thousand Wonders" sounded better when Archie Bell recorded it. "The Tornado" is a somewhat incoherent workout that goes all over the place, as do a few other tunes on this CD.

Overall, not bad for a used buy. It's unfortante that studio politics (see liner notes) limited their recorded output, but when the songs here are good, they are very good.
