Search - Ovations Featuring Louis Williams :: One in a Million

The Ovations provide us with the next step into the Sounds Of Memphis vaults after our critically acclaimed Barbara and The Browns and the Sounds Of Memphis / XL label story CDs. It is also effectively a companion volume to our compilation of Ovations' Goldwax recordings that gathered up their incredible 60s sides. It contains 22 tracks of the finest 70s soul harmony recorded in Memphis and Muscle Shoals. The CD contains the best of the Ovations releases from 1972-1978 including two US R&B hits - Touching Me and Having A Party. There are also cuts from both of the Ovations rare SOM albums and singles produced by Mike Curb, Clayton Ivy, Dan Greer and George Jackson and others. The CD includes Til I Find Some Way which has been picking up plays on the soul scene. This is the first time that these cuts have been issued on CD. We have also dug out some amazing previously unreleased tracks of exceptional quality. These include a session of demos that were intended as a follow up to the group's Chess release that were lost for over 30 years, and a wonderful cut called Soul Train that could easily become a fan favourite. The booklet contains an in-depth sleeve note by Martin Goggin that includes interviews with the last remaining member of the group, Nate Lewis, and the producer of many of the tracks, Dan Greer. It also has many rare photographs and illustrations making it a worthy addition to our telling of the Sounds Of Memphis and Ovations stories.
