Stellar material that
Ike Turner produced in just a couple years for Modern Records – in many cases, with
Ike also given the songwriting credit – New Orleans & LA recordings from '63-'65!
Ike was one incredible vessel
of pure musical talent and ingenuity – overshadowed badly by that red hot hell
of a public and private life. That's a shame for a number
of reasons, but the work speaks for itself. What's most incredible here, is that other voices speak for their own immense talent as well as
Ike's work behind the scenes. It's get great, rare material by
Ike & Tina Revue &
Kings Of Rhythm members and others. 27 tracks in all: "Darkest Hour", "I Smell Trouble", "Feel So Good" and more by Jimmy Thomas, "All In My Mind" by Tina
Turner, "In Love" by Jackie Brenston & The Ikettes, "That's All Right" and "You're So Fine" by Vernon Guy, "Think" by Bobby John & The Ikettes, "Walking Down The Aisle" by
Ike Turner & The Ikettes and more.
