Sir Shambling's Deep Soul Heaven

Texan artist Bobby Dent only seems to have recorded just this one 45 but it’s one to look out for all right. Funky Soul Au-Go-Go is a pretty good James Brown styled funk item, but of course it is the other side that really catches my ear. I’ll Always Love You is a blues ballad of considerable power. Dent is good particularly towards the run out groove, when his tone gets grittier, and the small band know their stuff. Label looks like a Houston one to me.

Thanks to Marc Demuynck who wrote to say that the producer of this disc "Piano Slim" is really Willard Burton who also had 45s on Jetstream and Zune under this pseudonym - the latter being Shingaling Time / Stage Coach To Boot Hill (ZUNE 101).
