1966, Cash McCall, born Morris Dollison recorded 8 sides for Monk Higgins on the Thomas label. Cash started in Gospel along side Otis Clay, then picked up the guitar and began a long and illustrious career as musician, arranger, producer, and songwriter. His credits are too many to list here, just be assured,with over 350 songs published, and working at virtually every label in Chicago, he has worked with the best. He carries on today, recording and singing the Blues. He is simply a legend, and this is one of the best tracks from the beginning of a great career. Pookie loves this song, and I hope you enjoy this one too.

Cash McCall – We’ve Come A Long Way Together

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
