Gure Gauza Records exclusively presents 2 new songs recorded in a Detroit studio in the spring of  2013, backed by his current band, and some extra collaborations. Info at www.guregauza.com

 

These are the liner notes written by Rob Wigley for this record:

 

Melvin Davis, Singer, Musician,Songwriter and Detroit Soul Legend, pulls no punches on these definitive recordings of his own compositions debuting here on vinyl 45.

 

Energy pulsates from “Chains of love”, the horn section delivers a solid, perfectly timed right hook to compliment Melvin s gritty, jabbing vocal. The song has also been covered by J.J.Barnes, Mavis Staples and by The Dirtbombs which featured in the Golden Globes & Bafta winning film “The diving bell & the Butterfly”.

 

 

Flip the 45 over and “I'm gonna love you” soars from the grooves. An instant dance floor winner, the pace never lets up as Melvin declares unconditional love for his girl.

Pat Lewis & Edward Hamilton (who recorded the original on Mary Jane Records) provide backing vocals to ensure we are indeed in the presence of Detroit Soul Royalty on this historic recording.

 

 

 

We also have some remaining copies of the Lazy Lester 7” (250-unit edition), recorded live in March 2013 at the Mojo Workin' R&B festival 4ª edition. The Louisiana blues legend is backed in this occasion by members of some of the most respected blues and r&b bands in the spanish scene (such as Guadalupe Plata, los Flamin' Guays or las Membramas).

 

Side a: I Made Up My Mind

 

Side b: Blues Stop Knockin'
