Oliver Sain "Main Man"

OK, here’s a RARE hunk of soul for ya’ll to sink your teeth into for a stretch. This scarce piece of wax took me literally years to track down and a squeaky clean copy of it still eludes me to this day. “Main Man” is Sain’s funky debut, which was released in 1972 on Abet. When it was issued Sain had already been in the music biz for over 20 years playing the part of writer, producer, talent scout and musician. An icon of the St. Louis music scene, he is possibly second only to Ike Turner as far influence on the local sound. On “Main Man” Sain delivers the goods, his signature big brassy sound is soaked in a greasy style rhythm section who keep the playing simple and tight. It’s the perfect setting to enjoy “The Man With the Golden Horn” in. So sit down, relax and let ole Oliver serve you up a heaping helping of soul food. Hope your hungry.

The man who made "Bus Stop" can't make boring music (to MHO). so thank you very much for giving us the chance of getting mire familiar to his music.

This album is in-sain! Stay tuned for more jokes like that. One of the best and most consistantly soulful albums i've listened to recently.
