Ike & Tina Turner
About This Album
Folks expecting the explosive Ike & Tina Turner sound from their commercial peak on Liberty Records in the early to mid-'70s will no doubt find this set to be a little thin-sounding, although it certainly still packs enough of a wallop to be pretty interesting. Ike & Tina spent the 1960s drifting from label to label on short-term recording deals for labels like Sue, Kent, Modern, Loma, Innis, Minit, and Blue Thumb, and several of those sides are collected here. A few of them, like "Funky Mule" and "Ghetto Funk," are really Ike-directed instrumentals, and while Tina's vocal excursions on songs like "Shake a Tail Feather" are vibrantly energetic, the overall sound seems muted and compressed compared to the Liberty recordings. Not a bad set, but not what most people will be expecting, either. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
