Product Description

CD Description

* An eagerly anticipated follow-up to the highly-acclaimed "Steal Away", Kent's first volume of the complete surviving Fame recordings of Jimmy Hughes from 2009.

* "Why Not Tonight" embraces this Alabama-born soul man's original Fame/Atlantic album of that title, seven non-album As and Bs and three originally unissued sides - two of which make their worldwide debut here.

* It was on these recordings that the celebrated Muscle Shoals sound really began to take shape and to define an era in Southern soul music.

* A mix of ultra high quality ballads and a raft of splendid dance cuts, many of which have remained unreissued for more than 40 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Superlative Soul from a Master, 26 Nov 2010
By 
Robin M. Hunter (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Why Not Tonight? The Fame Recordings Volume 2 (Audio CD)
Following on from their first Jimmy Hughes cd 'Steal Away' this is another really excellent soul offering from Ace Records. There's every reason to pick this sequel up as it also has first class material and an excellent illustrtaed booklet. This guy was so underrated, had a great voice and used great material.

The good news is that a third cd has been released by Ace covering all of his Volt label recordings.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing seond half of Hughes at Fame, 14 April 2010
By B. Margolis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Why Not Tonight? The Fame Recordings Volume 2 (Audio CD)
Just like the first volume, this amazing Kent CD starts with the 10 track second album ("Why Not Tonight?") and fills in with the remainding singles-only and unreleased tracks:

Why Not Tonight (Fame 1011a)
I'm A Man Of Action (1011b)
I Worship The Ground You Walk On (1006a)
Neighbor, neighbor (version 2) (1003a)
It Was Nice (6407b)
Shippin' Around With You
Midnight Affair (1000a)
It's a Good Thing (1003b)
I'm The Loving Physician (6410b)
I Stand Accused

When It Comes To Dancing (1000b)
You Can't Believe Everything That You Hear (1014b)
Don't Lose Your Good Thing (1014a)
Hi-Heel Sneakers (1015a)
Time Will Bring You Back (1015b)
Uncle Sam (Atlantic 2454b)
It Ain't What You Got (Atlantic 2454a)
Dilly Dilly (previously unissued)
Well Alright Girl (previously unissued)
Too Much (previously unissued on 45)
Neighbor, Neighbor (version 3) (previously unissued)

All tracks are in beautiful, clear mono (Fame didn't get stereo equipment until later in 1967).

Absolutely worth buying.
