Cash McCall – The Blues

Cash McCall is a prolific singer, songwriter, and simply a great blues man. This track was done at Chess during a time when Cash (Morris Dollison), was writing for the likes of Minnie Riperton and Rotary Connection, Little Milton, Tyrone Davis, Junior Parker. You get the picture. A great writer and producer who spent too little time recording himself. From 1969, this record was the 2nd Cash released on Checker. The production credits go to ‘Daddy G’, Gene Barge, but Pookie suspects Charles Stepney’s hand is on this one a bit. That does sound like Minnie Riperton on those obligatos and perhaps Sidney Barnes on there too. Cash had just worked with the Rotary Connection on ‘Love Me Now’, so just maybe They returned the favor. This is an original 45 from ‘69, so Pookie hopes you can forgive a little wear. Great records get played a lot. Cash is still going strong, residing in Memphis and recording/performing with Willie Dixon’s grandson Alex Dixon. Check Alex and Cash out at Dixon’s Landing Music
