| First vinyl reissue. 24 bit / 96 kHz remaster from the original tapes. New notes by Andria Lisle interviewing Spooner Oldham. Expanded gatefold edition housed in deluxe Stoughton "Tip-On" gatefold jacket. Legendary ivory-tickler Spooner Oldham is synonymous with the Muscle Shoals sound. The southern soul pioneer famously backed the likes of Etta James, Jimmy Hughes, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, and many more, but his lone solo album, Pot Luck, finds Spooner in a rare role: front and center. In 1972, the album was released and quickly sank. Before long, the Producer's Workshop disbanded, too. Oldham carried on regardless, performing with The Everly Brothers, Bobby Womack, Gene Clark, Neil Young and-well, you name it. With this deluxe reissue of his solo LP, it's time for Oldham to get his own dues. "I don't think anybody, anywhere, at any time, has ever heard it," he says. "Im just happy someone wants to hear it now." |
