Mose Allison, Middle Class White Boy, 1982 on Elektra Musician

First of two Mose Allison LPs out on Elektra Musician (the other was Lessons in Living) and (per the jacket notes) the 19th Mose Allison album. Allison plays Yamaha electric piano as well as traditional acoustic piano.

Allison is supported by Joe Farrell (tenor sax, flute), Phil Upchurch (guitar), Putter Smith (bass), John Dentz (drums), and Ron Powell (congas, percussion). Produced by Esmond Edwards.

My copy—via La Fin Du Vinyle in Montréal Québec—is a Canadian Cinram pressing (CR on label, Mfd and Distributed by WEA Music of Canada Ltd).

Tot een paar dagen terug had ik nog nooit van Phil Upchurch gehoord, ondanks zijn bijdragen aan honderden platen van onder meer en onder andere: Anita Baker, George Benson, Michael Jackson (Off The Wall), Bob Dylan (de vreselijke kerstplaat), Sheena Easton, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Donny Hathaway, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Dr. John, Chaka Khan, en zo kan ik nog wel even doorgaan.

Dankzij Radio Paradise hoorde ik Darkness, Darkness, een cover van de hit van The Youngbloods. Een opname uit 1972 die dus al ruim 50 jaar bestaat zonder dat ik er ooit van gehoord had.
