Terry Callier's first album for Cadet – and the kickoff of one of the
greatest three album runs that any soul artist ever recorded! This
one's got a different feel than the later two, as it takes songs by
Terry, and structures them with these little musical "seque" tracks in
between every song, done in a sparer folksy style that recalls Terry's
roots in the Old Town scene in Chicago. At the time, Terry was making
the transition from folk artist to soul singer – and he'd been picked up
by Jerry Butler and The Dells as a promising young songwriter, one of
the best talents of the second generation of Chicago soul stars. The
record's a stripped-down affair that features a small group with Charles
Stepney on harpsichord and organ, Callier on guitar, and backing vocals
by Minnie Riperton, Shirley Wahls, and Kitty Haywood. The album kicks
off with Terry's great little pop ditty "Ordinary Joe" – probably the
catchiest song he ever wrote – then rolls into more somber titles like
"Occasional Rain", "Do You Finally Need A Friend", "Golden Circle", and
"Blues For Marcus". A totally unique album – and a prime example of the
genius that was coming out of Chicago at the time! Dusty Groove. Download

This collection attempts to gather together some of the best of Pablo's freelance work in one volume and will no doubt plug in a few gaps in collections by the inclusion of some of the more hard to find tracks. While every effort has been taken to find the best possible sources for these recordings it is inevitable that many of the tracks have had to be dubbed from the original singles and digitally restored.
Check the "East Of The River Nile", "Hot & Cold Version 1&2" & the outstanding sexy "Bedroom Mazurka". Download
