Song-to-Song Notes, by Rüdiger Ladwig
1. Different Strokes
Der Syl Johnson Soul/Funk-Klassiker von 1968, der später auch von Boogie Down
Productions
und xxx aufgenommen wurde. Ein absoluter Lieblingstitel von Bobby und mir, deshalb
auch der
Album-Opener. The classic syl johnson soulfunjk-cut, originally recorded in 1986, later also recorded by Boogie Down Productions among others. A song bobby and me
both really love, so we put him on no. 1 on the album, a good opener, anyway.
2. Cold Cold Night
Dieser unveröffentlichte SoulRock-Track, xxxx komponiert von Bobby Hebb zusammen mit
Phil Medley, war der Grund dieses Album aufzunehmen. Bobby spielte den Titel im
Frühjahr 2002 live in einer Radiosendung solo auf der akustischen Gitarre während der Promotionreise zu der
Compilation "A Collection Of Various Interpretations Of SUNNY, Part 2", ich
bekam eine Gänsehaut. Kurz danach war de Idee geboren, dieses Album einzuspielen.
that unreleased soulrock-mover, written by bobby hebb together with phil medley, was
the reason recording this album. i got a gooseskin when i heard the acoustic version first during a live-radioshow in berlin in 2002 when bobby was promoting "sunny 2", then the idea was born.
3. A Satisfied Mind
Neuaufnahme des xxxx-Titels, der schon auf Bobby Hebb`s 1966er Album "Sunny"
zu finden ist, wurde nach dem Chartstürmer "Sunny" die 2. Single aus diesem Album.
originally also on bobby´s first full-length album "sunny", was the second single
release in 1966.
4. Proud Woman Nashville, Bobby Hebb´s Geburtsstadt und musikalische Roots. Johnny Adams veröffentlichte während der 60er Jahre diverse Country-Soul Hits wie z.B. "Release Me" auf Shelby Singleton´s SSS International Records, mit Sitz in Nashville. Wirhatten uns zwei Titelversionen von Adams` ausgeguckt, ""Proud
Woman" und "You Made A New Man Out Of Me", die Entscheidung viel uns schwer
sehr schwer, später im Studio wurde "Proud Woman" der heimliche Hit bei den
meisten von uns. Nashville, bobby´s hometown and musical roots. johnny adams had a huge hit with "release me", but we had two other johnny adams´s tracks in mind to record: "You Made A New Man Out Of Me" and "Proud Woman". It became the second mentioned and later in teh studio Bobby´s version became the most favorite song
to most of the musicians.
5. Sunny
Wenn ein Song für das Album gesetzt war, dann natürlich "Sunny", das bis heute
mehrerehundertfach und Genreübergreifend interpretiert wurde, dokumentiert auf den beiden so genannten One Song Compilations, "A Collection Of Various Interpretations Of SUNNY" (2000) und ""A Collection Of Various Interpretations Of SUNNY, Part 2"
(2002), erschienen bei Roof Music in Kooperation mit Trocadero Records
(www.sunny-the-song.de).
Es gab bislang kein Duett von "Sunny" auf Tonträger, was lag da näher, als das den
Original autoren selbst übernehmen zu lassen ?! Idee war, "Sunny" mit Sängerinnen aus verschiedenen Ländern komplett in englischer Sprache, aber auch
zweisprachig aufzunehmen. so far, bobby never recorded sunny in a duet, so we thought it is time...
6. When Love Goes Wrong
1971 bekommt Lou Rawls für die Single "A Natural Man" vom gleichnamigen MGM
Records Album einen Grammy, geschrieben wurde die Nummer von Bobby Hebb (zusammen
mit Sandy Baron), der die Nummer aber bis heute nie selber aufgenommen hat. Also
wollten wir eine schöne Nummer von Lou aufnehmen, das Album "Brotherman! - Lou Rawls Sings The Hits" lief in unseren CD-Playern und wir pickten uns schließlich "When Love Goes Wrong" aus dem 67er Album "That`s Lou". Bobby wrote "a natural man" for lou in 1970, we listened to some of his songs and ended up recording "when love goes wrong", a real soul-dancefloor mover with great lyrics.
7. We´re Gonna Make It
Die erste Single von Little Milton (alias Milton James Cambell Jr.) für das
Chicagoer Checker/Chess-Label, 1965, nachdem er vorher u.a. für Sun, Meteor
und Bobbin Singles veröffentlicht hatte, wurde später ein Northern Soul-Floorshaker
und ist ein echtes Juwel. Sein bekanntester Song ist "Grits
Ain`t Groceries". first 45 single for little milton for chicago´s checker/chess label, after he´s recorded for sun, meteor and bobbin, not his most known songs, but a real classic with a lovely story told.
8. Cold Cold Heart
Eigentlich wollten wir gar kein Country-Original auf das Album nehmen, aber
es passiert eben was passieren muß. Ich interviewte Bobby Hebb im Sommer im
Rahmen einer Recherche für ein Hörbuch zum Thema Hank Williams über eben diesen Hank
Williams, den er während ihrer gemeinsamen Zeit an der Grand Ole
Opry in Nashville xxxx kennenlernte. Während dieses Gesprächs vielen Ihm viele über
50 Jahre zurück liegende Details wieder ein, u.a., dass Hank ihm,
kurz nachdem sein Original von "Cold Cold Heart" 19xx erschien, sagte: "Junge, wenn
Du wissen willst, was ein `Cold Cold Heart` ist, dann musst du
den Song einfach selbst aufnehmen", Bobby nickte damals. Es hat über 50 Jare
gedauert, bis es soweit war im Frühjahr 2003.
we never planned recording a country song for the album, at least not THE PROBABLY
MOST COUNTRY CLASSIC by hank himself. while working on an hank williams audiobook
i´ve interviewed bobby about his time in the smoky mountain boys, early nashville, the garnd ole opry and his relationsship to hank williams. Bobby was suddenly 50 years back and recalled a lot of things he had forgotten. hank
once told bobby:
"bobby, when you wanna know, what a `cold cold heart` is, just record the song
yourself...". hebb never did that, so we HAD TO PUT THAT SONG ON THE ALBUM, and, by the way, it came out great, probably the most atmospheric version along to Norah Jones`.
9. Bound By Love
Eine Nummer von xxxxx, die Bobby unbedingt nochmal aufnehmen wollte. Ursprünglich
hatte er den Song, mit xxxx als B-Seite, 19xxx für xxxx Records
eingespielt.
you know more about that song, joe, bobby wanted that and really loves the result.
10. Willow Tree
Bobby fragte mich, ob ich ihm einige Titel von aktuellen Künstlern aufnehmen
kann. Erst begeistert davon,
ihm reichlich Material anzubieten (was war dabei?), viel mir dann gar nicht
so viel passendes ein. Aber dann kam mir das Album "Yeah, It´s That Easy !"
von G. Love & Special Sauce in den Sinn und ich nahm Bobby xxxxx und xxxx auf. Auf
dem Album arbeitete G. Love u.a. mit Dr. John zusammen, mit dem hatte Bobby xxxxx
ebenfalls xxxxxx
Erst wollten wir im Chorus einen netten Männerchor "..we should sing together, water
over the pebbles" zu den Lead Vocals trällern lassen, haben
wir auch aufgenommen und war spaßig, aber dann haben wir Bobby doch die ganze Nummer
allein singen lassen, die hier übrigens wesentlich schneller als das Original ist.
bobby asked me about some good songs by "any youngsters". i love g. love´s albums
and so we picked "willow tree" who had worked with dr. john as the keyboardist
on his album/own version. we wanted to have a male choir singing the chorus,
but it
came out better without...
bobby´s version is faster then th love-original.
11. Don´t Tear Me Down
a charlie rich title, that was a hidden gem for a long time. originally recorded in
1996
during his soul/roots-period (on hi-records), this song never was reelased until 1998,
when it finally came out on the hi record (UK) album "i´ll shed no tears - the best
of the
hi recordings"; unbelievable, that song didn´t make it on an album in ´66, when bobby
had "sunny"..., easy answer: the unissued songs of that specific session by
charlie rich
where on a tape at a hi records storage room, simply forgotten.
12. That´s What I Want To Know
James carr, one of the coolest deep soul artists, died in january 2001. during the
mid to end sixties he had a series of hits for the memphis based
Goldwax-label. we picked one of the fastest songs he ever did, "that´s what
i want to know", 170 bpm or so. we wanted to do the song in the same tempo but it
didn´t worked out for some reasons. we were close, giving up that song at all in
that session, but suddenly bobby started singing and giving the new groove to the musicians. he said: "we have to do it otis´ - style", the band jumped into studio and bobby recorded the now smooth-groovin´ emotionizer at first take. he wanted to do it better when the instruments were recorded, but we stayed with the first
take, or better, pre-first take. after a while bobby phoneed me and said, that "that´s what i wnat to know" became his mots favorite song of the album.
