Biography

Terry Callier is an American jazz, soul and folk guitarist, singer and songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. A childhood friend of Curtis Mayfield, Callier began recording in 1963 but never reached stardom despite a series of regional hits in the 1960s and 1970s.

Format:Audio CD
This gem was first released in the U.S. as an LP on the Cadet Label in the '70's. At the time, TC was writing songs for a number of Chicago groups, most notable penning the Dell's hit, "The Love We Had Stays On My Mind". He was also involved with the group Rotary Connection whose alumni include Minnie Riperton and Phil Upchurch. Occasional Rain is the first of his three Cadet LP's which have been reissued on CD. TC is an incredible songwriter/storyteller and truly shines on the longer cuts. His "Trance on Sedgewick Street" is a classic. For those of you familiar with TC's current work and want to get a sense of the man's talent thirty years ago, then by all means listen to his early work. Like a fine wine, the man and his music just keep getting better with time.

The track 'Lean on me' is one of the most incredibly beautiful songs ever recorded. Worth the money alone. Terry Callier is a secret sensation.

Just Listen..... 31 Oct 2003

Comparisons to David Gray would be valid if this album was by Elton John. Luckilly, it is not.

Ordinary Joe is a dance classic, not croontastic. And it's fantastic.

Callier has a body of work which can make you dance, or make you stop in your tracks.

Remember what Urban Species said when they sampled Candyman - Just Listen!
