Night Owls - Ain't That Loving You 7"
SKU: FSPT1031
Description:
It's a Night Owls sound
system takeover once again, bringing the band's unique Jamaican
twist on classic soul hits to listeners worldwide. Side A features
Johnnie Taylor's Stax classic "Ain't That Loving You" flipped on
its head, taking this sweet ballad to new dancehall heights. The
song has a long history with Jamaican music having been covered by
legends like Alton Ellis, Prince Buster, U Roy, Delroy Wilson,
Hortense Ellis and Dennis Brown and, in America, by Black Moses
himself, Isaac Hayes.
Night Owls' version sits somewhere in between the classic versions
with a hot and heavy feel aimed at getting you on your feet.
Calling upon former King Apparatus singer, Slackers cohort and Ska
troubadour Chris Murray, Night Owls have perfectly balanced their
tough-as-nails riddim with Murray's soulful and sympathetic vocal
delivery on top. "Ain't That Loving You" comes complete with catchy
organ riffs, classic syn-drum hits and backing harmony support from
special guest, The Expanders' John Butcher.
Side B is a corker too,
with longtime friend and collaborator Malik Moore (The Lions, The
Bullets, Ocean 11) truly owning the soul classic, "Are You Lonely
For Me, Baby", originally released on Bert Berns' legendary Shout!
label in 1966, with his commanding reedy and soulful tenor. Whether
it's the Freddie Scott or Al Green version you know best, Night
Owls bring you a fresh and fiery take on the song by adding their
signature bounce, based loosely on U Roy's "Stick Together" riddim,
while keeping the presence of Scott's original alive and well
thanks to Moore's deep and immediate delivery. "Are You Lonely For
Me, Baby" also features the iconic backing harmonies from Night
Owls' #1 on call soul sister, Destani Wolf.
Produced by Dan Ubick and
Night Owls. Recorded and Mixed by Dan Ubick for DanUbe Productions
at The Lions Den in Topanga,CA.
