Dennis Coffey

Resonance Records gives a first-time release to a set of live recordings made by guitarist and Funk Brother Dennis Coffey at Morey Baker's Showplace Lounge in Detroit in 1968. Coffey is joined for this smoking set of instrumental R&B by organist Lyman Woodard (former musical director for Martha Reeves & the Vandellas) and drummer Melvin Davis (Smokey Robinson, Wayne Kramer) on original songs as well as covers of Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb, and Herbie Hancock.  It's all lavishly packaged in a digipak with a 56-page booklet filled with liner notes, rare photographs, and new interviews.
