Ace and Kent’s commitment to the preservation of classic Southern Soul on CD is bearing some great fruit in 2009. The year’s not three months old and there have been great packages from the Ovations and the Facts Of Life followed up by this third helping of Luther Ingram.
Kent has issued all of Luther’s Ko Ko 45’s on two indispensable CDs. Now are the two excellent albums “I’ve Been Here All The Time” and “(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right” first released at either end of 1972 in the US (neither LP was issued over here). The track ‘I’ll Love You Until The End’ was issued on both albums and so appears only once in this package.
Here are 21 tracks of superb quality Memphis/Muscle Shoals soul. Immaculate instrumental and vocal backup, intelligent, well-written songs, classy arrangements and production, finely delivered by one of the most underrated singers of soul’s classic period. For confirmation, just listen to ‘Since You Don’t Want Me’, an absolutely sublime track from the first album. The song originally came out as the flip of an early version of ‘Missing You’ but all concerned evidently felt they could improve on it, and tweaked the arrangement to produce the perfection you hear here.
