2013 release containing digitally remastered editions of the first two early 1970's solo albums by Memphis singer/songwriter/keyboardist/guitarist Bobby Whitlock. Presented here together on CD, BOBBY WHITLOCK (1972) and RAW VELVET (also 1972) are star-studded (George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Delaney & Bonnie), soulful albums from one of Rock music's key unsung figures. Whitlock's story is a remarkable one. Born to a hardscrabble existence, raised in abject poverty, abused by his preacher father and was sent out to pick cotton in the fields. Moving from one railroad town to another, Whitlock was quite literally from the wrong side of the tracks.
COMPILATION INCLUDES:
1. The Album BOBBY WHITLOCK March 1972;
2. The Album RAW VELVET November 1972.
Bobby Whitlock is something of a classic rock unsung hero. He was, most famously, a member of Derek And The Dominos, and toured as the backing band for George Harrison after he released All Things Must Pass. Whitlock also played as part of Bonnie and Delaney’s “Friends”. He’s recorded and played with Eric Clapton in these and other ventures, and he’s also recorded with the like of Buddy Guy and others. So Whitlock, a Tennessee-born musician who got his start on Stax Records recording hand-claps on a Sam & Dave tune, was a rock journeyman, a talented sideman and songwriter tied to some admittedly more famous names. WHERE THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY looks to shed light on a lesser-known chapter in his journey, as it comprises his two solo albums from 1972 (BOBBY WHITLOCK and RAW VELVET) in hopes of deepening our understanding of Whitlock’s musical world by showing him, first and foremost, as a frontman. With the two albums released so close together, RAW VELVET feels less like a second album and more like a continuation. The band feels a little bigger (check the army of guitars on opener “Tell The Truth” but they deliver the same kind of blues-rock you’d expect, and with the same volatile energy. “Write You A Letter” is a particularly strong track, the crashing volume of the band keeping up (again, barely) with Whitlock’s howling vocals. He can slow things down, as on the lilting piano ballad “You Came Along”, and in these moments you feel the pause between journeys, between moments of motion. Whitlock is a musician of inertia, one that doesn’t and can’t be slowed down, but these moments of stillness offer a nice counterpoint to, say, the dusty rock of “Satisfied”. The second half of RAW VELVET, and “You Came Along” in particular, sound like some of the strongest stuff here because, despite his irrepressible energy, despite the joy Whitlock finds in getting lost in music, there’s a bit of restraint here. To hear him peel back his shouting on “You Came Along” shows a subtlety that “A Game Called Life” lacked. The folk-rock of “Satisfied” is still charged, but not with the over-the-top size of even RAW VELVET‘s opener “Tell The Truth”. To hear these two albums now is to hear a personal story, the sound of a man not hiding from his past, but leaving it behind by reshaping it with the tools he has, the tools he loves: this music. If that injects the music with some import, and gives us a new look into an overlooked corner of rock music history, it also shows a frontman not yet comfortable in the spotlight. Whitlock stuffs his songs with instruments and ideas, often crowding what are otherwise sweet tunes, and he oversings often (particularly on the first record), his belting voice drowning out the music behind him, even obscuring the words, which are so often guilelessly positive.
