Expanded 2LP Edition Of Timeless Soul, Jazz & Folk-Infused Debut On 180g Vinyl!
The First Official Vinyl Reissue!
Cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio! Pressed at RTI!
Terry Calliers The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier is available as a official vinyl reissue cut from the original analog master tapes. This deluxe reissue features unreleased tracks, new liner notes, and bonus tracks. Almost a lost album, The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier encompasses Terry's blues voice and jazz, soul, gospel music fusion. The New Folk Sound of Terry Callier conveys the promise and power of Callier in his earliest days. Two 180g black vinyl LPs in 2 pocket gatefold tip-on.
"The career of Terry Callier was a long-simmering affair that took the better part of three decades to finally boil over into some kind of solid success. His first album, reissued this month by Craft Recordings, was recorded for Prestige Records in 1964, but didn't come out until four years later after the producer absconded with the tapes. By the time it was finally released, as writer Jason P. Woodbury says in his liner notes, 'the quiet, moody folk of the LP was out of step with the heady times and it failed to register a commercial impact.' A few years later, Callier had left his acoustic roots behind for soul-jazz, issuing a trio of records in the early '70s, including the masterpiece What Color Is Love, which is being brought back into circulation thanks to Geffen. His steady, vibrato-laden voice didn't change from one record to the other, only his decision to move from spiritually-minded concerns to those of the body. Callier was brought from the brink of obscurity thanks to record collectors and artists like Beth Orton and Massive Attack who cited him as an inspiration and helped him find a modern audience. And they have helped keep his older material in the minds of music obsessives, playing no small part in the reissues of these two albums. You really can't go wrong with either one. Keep both in circulation on a lazy Sunday and they'll each set the mood: New Folk Sound for the morning and twilight hours, Love giving the afternoon and early evening a nice sense of purpose and groove." - Paste Magazine
