Some of you with very keen hearing may well notice the hand (and other organs no doubt) of Bob Crewe here on this track from Lotti Goldens 'Motor-Cycle' album. What with the jazz inflections and 'soul vocal' it's a bitty affair that keeps me coming back for repeated listenings...just as she gets going it seems to drop into a 'jazzy phrase' or two...a lot like Lucifer indeed!Nice bit of 'fuzz' under the vocals when they get going too...

What a joy! Lotti Golden the ultimate Hippie Goddess and her amazing descant, "A Lot Like Lucifer." If you're familiar with the entire LP, "Motor-Cycle"(Atlantic, 1969) you'd know "A Lot Like Lucifer" follows "Motorcycle Michael." See, Michael, Golden's lover, morphs into Lucifer. So the artwork here is a perfect depiction of Lucifer's ejection; Crewe's hand is undeniable. The unlikely pair created a brilliant opus which should be re-released on CD for the uninitiated.
ReplyDeleteYes I am familiar with the LP and I agree that it should certainly be re-released and re-appraised!

Wow. I'd love to hear those master tapes before Bob Crewe's mixers got involved. Love Golden's voice--would like to hear more of it!
