SILKY HARGRAVES - HURT BY LOVE


I'm a sucker for a great stop-start arrangement, and this one keeps on pulling it out to such great effect! Also dig that snare drum rattle (sounds like there was a mic placed right next to a loose snare bottom)- what a cool effect!

Detroiter Silky Hargraves is quite a mystery figure; he only released 4 45's, and this was his first. I know of no biographical info about him, nor could I find any this morning doing a quick search to see if there was any info out there (came up with zilch). He must have been a powerful figure to get his name listed as co-producer on his debut record!

from 1965...

Try Silky Hargreaves, the name on the record was misspelled.
