GEORGE JACKSON: Old Friend: The Fame Recordings Volume 3

We're on record as long-standing admirers of Jackson's unique way of conveying both vulnerability and swagger whenever he stood at the mic for a vocal take, and with the recent theatrical success of Muscle Shoals (set to be available on DVD and Blu-ray by the end of February), this third volume from the Fame archives is set to introduce the man to more receptive ears than ever.

"Old Friend, the third volume of George's Fame recordings, is possibly the best of the three we’ve issued to date. There are a handful of songs which will be familiar via the versions of other acts. Unlike the first two, however, most of the tracks were recorded by George alone. Nevertheless, these predominantly-unheard songssome of which were written by George's friends and peers O.B. McClinton and Dan Greerare just as strong as those covered by Candi Staton, Clarence Carter, Wilson Pickett et al. All would surely have been hits for anyone who did pick them from George’s massive catalogue of potential hits.

The fabulous musicianship of the Muscle Shoals-based Fame rhythm sections is all over the majority of these recordings, including, on a couple of cuts, the stinging guitar work of Duane Allman. None of our featured tracks has appeared on CD before, which makes their presence here all the more vital; all but two have never been issued before. It’s a real pleasure to be able to keep George Jackson’s name alive with music of outstanding quality."
