Come and Get Them: Upcoming Releases Due from DeShannon, Nelson and More

January 6, 2011 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Britain's Ace family of labels is kicking off 2011 in a big way! Mike filled you in Tuesday about Kent's upcoming I'll Do Anything: The Doris Troy Anthology 1960-1996, and today we turn the spotlight on three more releases due in the U.K. on January 31.

Jackie DeShannon remains one of the most beloved voices of the 1960s. DeShannon not only broke barriers as a rare female songwriter in an era when it simply wasn't common, but she was equally comfortable in front of the microphone as a first-class interpreter of others' songs. Come and Get Me is the second volume of Ace's three-part series collecting all of DeShannon's singles for the Liberty and Imperial labels. Its 26 tracks include DeShannon's classic "When You Walk in the Room," "Splendor in the Grass," on which she is backed by The Byrds, and songwriting collaborations with Randy Newman. Also compiled are five remarkable Burt Bacharach/Hal David compositions. These sophisticated pop singles were produced by Bacharach at his lush peak, and include not only the first, definitive recording of "What the World Needs Now is Love" but underrated gems like the breezy "So Long, Johnny," haunting "Windows and Doors" and impassioned "Come and Get Me," the song which gives this collection its title. All singles are presented exactly as they originally appeared, whether in mono or stereo, with some mixes making first-time appearances on CD. Each volume in this series has been released with Jackie's full participation, and you can expect more illuminating quotes from her in the booklet, as well as original label scans and artwork.

DeShannon's songwriting catalogue has already been immortalized on a volume of Ace's long-running Songwriters and Producers series, recipient of our recent Gold Bonus Disc Award, and the series now turns its attention to a pair of mid-'60s soul men with Sweet Inspiration: The Songs of Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham. Penn and Oldham may not have the name recognition of Bacharach and David or Goffin and King, but who reading this isn't familiar with "I'm Your Puppet" or "Cry Like a Baby," just to name two of the team's most well-known songs? Sweet Inspiration's 24 tracks include many from the Atlantic, Chess and Goldwax vaults, those labels alone attesting to the high quality of the soul music contained. Penn and Oldham's first collaboration, "Let's Do It Over" as performed by Joe Simon in 1965, is here, as is Dionne Warwick's 1969 take on "I'm Your Puppet" and Arthur Alexander's 1970 "Cry Like a Baby." Other artists featured on this long-overdue tribute to the Penn/Oldham partnership are soul titans Percy Sledge (recipient of a new Rhino Handmade box set), Etta James, Irma Thomas, the late, great Solomon Burke, and the Sweet Inspirations themselves. Less likely artists on this eclectic set include Ronnie Milsap, Sandy Posey and Tommy Roe. Ace promises to follow up this volume with a disc of Penn's collaborations with others. This volume would presumably include a recording of "Dark End of the Street," arguably his masterwork, co-written with Chips Moman.

In 1970, Decca released a 12-track album comprising the best of Rick Nelson's stand at the legendary Troubadour. A CD reissue briefly appeared, only to go out-of-print. Ace has come to the rescue, however. Some 40 years after the original LP's release, the label delivers Rick Nelson: In Concert - The Troubadour, 1969, expanding the album's 12 tracks to a whopping 42 (!), all derived from the concerts which took place at the intimate club between October 29 and November 2, 1969. The first disc boasts the original 12 tracks plus 10 alternates, while the second disc premieres a complete live show of yet 20 more performances, with Nelson's spoken introductions and between-song commentaries intact. Nelson revisits many of his hits including "Poor Little Fool," "Travelin' Man" and "Hello, Mary Lou," alongside then-contemporary material by writers like Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin and Randy Newman. This release was prepared from the original eight-track masters, which have been remixed and newly mastered. Eagles and Poco fans should note that this concert marked the debut of Nelson's Stone Canyon band, with Randy Meisner on bass and backing vocals, plus Allen Kemp on lead guitar, Patrick Shanahan on drums and Tom Brumley on steel guitar.
