Description
Soul singer Don Covays career traversed nearly the entire spectrum of Rhythm & Blues music, from Doo-Wop to Funk. On 1966s See-Saw, featuring its famous title track, Don Covay rides his most creative crest as a solo artist with a hearty collection of songs.
Its rawness is what makes these recordings compelling. A guitarist as well as a singer, Covays pickings arent buried in the mix, and you dont need a Geiger counter to detect the grooves.
Most impressive are See-Saw, Mercy Mercy, Sookie, Sookie, and Boomerang, a call to dance with the feeling of Major Lance singing a Curtis Mayfield song. On Fat Man, you wonder if hes singing about his old Washington, D.C., buddy Billy Stewart. The two began their careers with The Rainbows.
