Another
one of my Dad’s (I think). This one’s a Tamla Motown record, and features the singles
of Jr. Walker & The All Stars - a very overlooked artist in the Motown
canon - released between 1965 and 1969. It’s incredible how well known their debut single Shotgun is. It’s one of those soul songs you’ve heard a million times, in films and television especially, but you might not know who performs it. Many of the songs are driven by Walker’s saxophone, but there’s something very Steve Cropper about guitarist Willie Woods, and his licks are as funky as anything.
Hit: Shotgun
Hidden Gem: Cleo’s Mood
