Preach Brother! (Classic Vinyl Series): Vinyl LP

The Louisiana - born tenor saxophonist Don Wilkerson, with a deeply soulful sound, made his mark on the Blue Note label in 1962 with the under - recognized soul jazz masterpiece, Preach Brother! This album is a hidden gem in the Blue Note catalog. Wilkerson, who was part of Ray Charles’ band in the mid - 1950s and played on many of Charles’ classic Atlantic sides, infuses that soulful essence into this exciting 6 - song collection of his original works. Joined by top - notch musicians like Grant Green on guitar, Sonny Clark on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums, Wilkerson shines from the opening notes of the jump blues “Jeanie - Weenie” to the confident closing track “Pigeon Peas.” He takes listeners on a spiritual journey with “Dem Tambourines” and “Camp Meetin’,” slows things down with the expressive “Homesick Blues,” and has an engaging musical conversation with Green’s soul - soaked guitar on “The Eldorado Shuffle.” This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is in stereo, all - analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on high - quality 180g vinyl at Optimal. Tracklist: Side A: 1. Jeanie - Weenie 2. Homesick Blues 3. Dem Tambourines; Side B: 1. Camp Meetin' 2. The Eldorado Shuffle 3. Pigeon Peas
