Turner, Ike & Tina
Outta Season
Husband-and-wife soul duo Ike & Tina Turner produced an astounding string of hits during the 1960s and 70s, before Tina found the will to go solo. Unjustly overlooked at its time of release, the duos first blues album finds Tinas passionately powerful voice holding plenty of grit and Ikes guitar a restrained accompaniment throughout; the take of Sonny Boy Williamsons Crazy Bout You Baby has gripping electric piano and buzzing blues harp and Ikes Grumbling is a killer guitar groove. A good mix of covers and originals, it shows how well the duo could work in the blues idiom. Another great LP for all Ike & Tina fans!
