Genuine John - Genuine John (1970) Rhythm & Blues, Psychedelic Rock<br /><br />Comprising of veteran session musicians, this release carries a soul, funk feel with a touch of jazz fusion. A hidden gem.<br /><br />Despite this album’s eye-catching album jacket, it seems to be little-known obscurity buried in the vast Capitol Records 1970’s catalogue. There also is very little information to be culled online. Anyway, what we have here is a soulful brass influenced pop rock set with a few instrumentals thrown in for good measure. “Thought She Was A Good Woman” is a rocking affair with funky baselines, nice brass and emotive vocals. Side 1 ends on a brass rocker “I Want Your Love”, which has helpings of harmonica. Side 2 opens with “I Think You Love Him”, another brass rocker which displays pop and commercial intentions – would probably have been the single pick. The slow soulful “Puppy Dog Song” sounds like it’s going to be lame, however it’s a good interlude with excellent vocal work. Among the three instrumentals, “Inside Out” is the best with its slight psychedelic effects in parts.recorddigger Dec 13 2020<br /><br /><br /><br />Track listing<br /><br />A1<br />Tupelo Mississippi Flash<br />0:00<br /><br />A2<br />Medley: As Tears Go By / (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction<br />3:23<br /><br />A3<br />Thought She Was a Good Woman<br />6:44<br /><br />with Curtis Willis (vocals)<br /><br />A4<br />Comin' Home<br />9:41<br /><br />A5<br />I Want Your Love<br />13:05<br /><br />with Curtis Willis (vocals)<br /><br />B1<br />I Think You Love Him<br />16:07<br /><br />with Curtis Willis (vocals)<br /><br />B2<br />Puppy Dog Song<br />19:18<br /><br />B3<br />Inside Out<br />22:24<br /><br />B4<br />Goin' Down Easy<br />26:50<br /><br /><br />Hugh McCracken<br />guitar, harmonica, shakers, songwriting<br />Chuck Rainey<br />electric bass, vocals, lead vocals, songwriter<br />Paul Harris<br />piano, organ, harpsichord<br />Herbie Lovelle<br />drums, percussion<br />Richard Tee<br />horn arrangements, songwriting<br />Genuine John<br />arranger, writer<br />Arthur Gorson<br />producer<br /><br />⚠ If there are any copyright issues please contact me.
