Being as it is Mardi Gras and all, I couldn't resist posting another 'Nawlins record. Imagine that! I can't imagine you mind...
Remembered as being a troubled soul, Inell Young released precious few recordings before dying of a drug overdose sometime in the early '70's. Here we find her incredible vocals matched up with producer/ keyboardist/ genius Eddie Bo and the incredible drumming of James Black. Unfortunately the production is kinda murky on this record, but it still bursts out of the mud.
from 1969...
INELL YOUNG - THE NEXT BALL GAME
3 comments:
Some think Inell's singing is lost in the drum mix on this song [i disagree, thinking more that James Black's drumming is verging on pure abstraction, the guy WAS basically a jazz drummer ya know]...
That said, i prefer her song, Part of The Game, which i think is an often overlooked masterpiece..not that everything she did isn't good..
As i recall, that's James Black drumming on Lee Dorsey' s album, Yes We Can...
ana..
