George & Gwen "Together"

As promised, here’s a little bit more SOUL for ya’ll from the Cat label. This is husband and wife team George and Gwen McCrae’s “Together” LP ala 1975. Actually, together might be a bit inappropriate since the two split shortly after this was recorded. Regardless, the LP yields some rather tasty cuts steeped in the magic of that classic T.K./Cat production style. Dirty man Clarence Reid (aka Blowfly) pens most of the songs here and if you take a listen to the lyrics it’s pretty obvious. My personal fave, “The Rub” became beat fodder in the hands of DJ Premier who used it for a nice Brand Nubian joint a few years back.

I got into soul about the time George McCrae was big, and I was luke warm to his stuff. So when I heard he had made a record with his (then) old lady, I was barely interested. However, I then got to know Gwen, so this record suddenly became essential viewing. And what a wonderful LP it is. Many thanks for the share Dr Fever.

Wow, Thank You! I have heard "The Rub" on a funk mix that I have listened to for 4 years now but never knew the track title or the artist. Now I do and it's none other than Gwen McCrae. WOW. I love this song. Funky, Sexy, Sultry. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
