2 rare sides from LouCourtney – recorded at a perfect time when he'd moved past the stock uptempo sound of his earlier work, into a vein that was still lively, but also a lot more soulful. "Do The Horse" is one of many "horse" tracks from the 60s – and it's got a great sock-boogaloo groove to it. "Rubber Neckin'" is very nice, too – with kind of a mod go-go soul groove, and hard vocals from Lou. 7-inch, Vinyl record

I'm In Need Of Love ... LP Epic/Soul Brother (UK), 1974. New Copy (reissue)...
Out Of Stock
A wonderful album of mellow soul tracks! The record is LouCourtney's masterpiece – and it's a jam-packed set filled with great tracks that rank right up there with classic 70s work by artists like Marvin Gaye, Leroy Hutson, or Leon Ware! Leon Pendarvis handled most of the arrangements – and the record's got a wonderfully full soul sound – with a mix of moody keyboard-driven groovers and ballads – all topped by excellent vocals from Lou, miles ahead of any work he did in the early days! The best thing, though, is the songwriting, as these tracks rank right up there with the best underground mellow soul we can think of – sophisticated yet not soppy, filled with soulful lyrics about love and losing it, never giving into cliches of other soul from the time. A real dream of an album – and filled with great tracks like "I Will If You Will", "I'm In Need Of Love", "Just To Let Him Break Your Heart", "Somebody New Is Loving On You", and "The Common Broken Heart".
