Notes
If Gram Parsons (and, I would argue, Gene Clark) was the first musical artist to marry 1960's Rock and Roll with Country and Western, then Delaney & Bonnie may have been the first to marry Rock with Soul. Sounding like a white Otis Redding and Tina Turner (Bonnie was once an Ike-ette), and with Booker T. and the MGs backing them on most of the tracks, the mercurial couple rip through a set of heartfelt, gut-wrenching Southern soul, with some Rock and Roll Attitude. It's no wonder that after hearing this record, people like Eric Clapton and George Harrison were willing to drop what they were doing to be mere sidemen is Delaney & Bonnie's band. The sound is raw, the songs are great, and it is a great pleasure to listen to the singing of both Delaney and Bonnie, each of them being gifted vocalists. This is like Exile on Main St. meets Otis Redding's Greatest Hits
The phenomenon of Delaney and Bonnie was so incredible for about three years (1969-1971) that there needs to be a documentary about them or something! In '69, they pulled in this incredible family of musicians around them which included George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker, etc., etc. Everyone played on each others albums and helped each other out. They were a true embodiment of '60s idealism taking hold of musicians and working
I learned today Jan 3, 2009 of the passing of Delaney Bramlett. What a tremendous loss to the music world. Delaney Bramlett leaves behind an incredible legacy. Both as a solo artist and with Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, he played with everyone from Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, George Harrison, Carl Raddle, Jim Gordon, Bobby Whitlock, Leon Russell and so many more.
musicians on this set comprise the heart& soul of the STAX rhythm section, we have members of Booker T& The MG'S (Donald "Duck" Dunn,Steve Cropper,Al Jackson and Booker T. Jones)
also featured are Stax vet Eddie Floyd("Knock on Wood"),
Black Moses Issac Hayes and keyboardist Bobby Whitlock.
The 10 tracks are marvelous examples of Memphis Soul. Bonnie Bramlett's voice echoes Tina Turner and a (cleaned up) Janis Joplin.
The first track a D&B written original.. "It's been a Long time coming" echoes best that deep soul influence that Delaney& Bonnie reflected.
The Issac Hayes and David Porter original "My Baby specializes" is another fine example of D&B ability to absord the soul and ride along the groove.
The cover is even interesting on this album, a photo of Delaney and Bonnie sitting in the doorway of a 150 year old cabin in Pontotoc, Mississippi with Delaney's Grandfather (1969).
