Ace Records and SoulTrax Records are proud to
announce the release of a brand new recording
involving two of soul music's most distinguished
legends.
77 year-old singer Willie Hightower and 95 year-
old producer Quinton Claunch have made a
remarkable Southern Soul record - recorded in
Muscle Shoals, soaking up the atmosphere of
nearly 60 years of soul music. The band features
Muscle Shoals legends Travis Wammack and
Clayton Ivey.
Quinton Claunch produced James Carr's
Goldwax recordings in the 1960s, regarded by
many as the epitome of Southern Soul. Quinton
hasn't lost his touch in picking material and
overseeing this record by Willie Hightower.
Willie Hightower cut consistently great records
from 1965 onwards, recording for Capitol,
Mercury and Muscle Shoals' own Fame Records
and, in recent years, has been a stalwart of the
live circuit. Two of his recordings feature on "The
Fame Studios Story 1961-1973" box set
(KENTBOX 12) and another on "Back To The
River" (KENTBOX 18).
