CD Description
* Roy Lee Johnson is best known for writing `Mr Moonlight' for Doctor Feelgood and the Interns, which was covered by the Beatles. He made some stunning records for a variety of labels down through the 60s and 70s. His dynamite live performance convinced Jimmy Johnson to record him at Muscle Shoals Sound and sign the record to Stax. It is this rare masterpiece that we are reissuing here.
* The album is a brilliant collection of funk, punctuated with a couple of shots of fine Southern soul. `The Dryer' and `Patch It Up' are funk club classics and make this album sought-after by collectors. `I Can't Stand This Loneliness' and `Something Special' are fine soul moments that showcase his fine voice.
Product Description
(1972/73 'Stax Records') (27:01/10) Eins der 'klassischen' Funk-Alben der Siebzigerjahre! Nach seiner erfolgreichen Zusammenarbeit mit Piano Red alias Dr. Feelgood und einer einer Reihe Singles für verschiedene Labels (siehe auch seine Bear Family CD und die Box mit den Aufnahmen von Dr. Feelgood & The Interns) holte ihn Produzent Jimmy Johnson für eine LP-Produktion in die Muscle Shoals Studios. Stark! / One of the classic funk albums of the early '70s. After his successful work with Piano Red aka Dr. Feelgood, Johnson went on to release a couple of 45s under his own name (you may want to check out Bear Family's great collection of Roy Lee Johnson's music, and our own Dr. Feelgood CD boxed set feat. Johnson). In 1972, producer Jimmy Johnson recorded Roy Lee at Muscle Shoals Studios. Excellent!
