Produced by Kid Andersen at his Greaseland Studio, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n We are beyond excited to announce the new recording from Little Village Foundation<\/b> \u2013 the debut full length album from the best real deal soul singer you’ve never heard\u2026SONNY GREEN<\/b>!!!\u00a0 <\/span>We truly believe he <\/b>is one of the best blues and soul singers alive, and this high quality debut recording, produced\/recorded by the supremely talented Kid Andersen<\/b>, is going to blow you away with Sonny<\/b>\u2019s gospel-drenched, soul stirring vocals being the star of the show. This modern day soul blues classic recording also has the benefit of having Kid<\/b>\u2019s other worldly guitar and genius production skills, Jim Pugh<\/b>\u2019s in demand B-3 organ playing, a full horn section (including guest sax studs, Sax Gordon<\/b> & Terry Hanck <\/b>(check Terry\u2019s hilarious original, \u201cCupid Must Be Stupid\u201d) and star vocalist, Alabama Mike<\/b>!<\/p>\n After hearing this superb record, I\u2019m sure you\u2019re going to ask, \u201cWhere has this amazing singer been all my life?\u201d Well, Sonny\u2019s been singin\u2019 since his teens in Louisiana, and performing regularly for over 40 years to devoted Los Angeles area crowds. Amazingly he has never had a full length recording before, but he did record a handful of sought after killer 45\u2019s during the late \u201860\u2019s\/early \u201970\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/span>One of his songs from \u201971 on the Hill label (Matt Hill, ZZ. Hill<\/b>\u2019s brother) \u201cIf You Want Me To Keep On Lovin You\u201d is re-visited here in an outstanding updated version.<\/p>\n Like any great artist, Sonny has a style and voice all his own, but you can definitely hear his influences in his repertoire, including Bobby \u201cBlue\u201d Bland<\/b> (\u201cI\u2019m So Tired\u201d), Little Milton<\/b> (\u201cIf Walls Could Talk\u201d), Syl Johnson <\/b>(\u201cBack For A Taste Of Your Love\u201d), Ted Taylor<\/b>\u2019s ballad (\u201cBe Ever Wonderful\u201d), and even a really cool cover of an early Willie Nelson<\/b> tune, \u201cAre You Sure?\u201d Two standout songs have never been on record before, the Alabama Mike<\/b> original, \u201cTrouble,\u201d a \u201cso funky you can smell it\u201d duet with Sonny<\/b> and Alabama Mike<\/b>, and one of two originals from the witty mind and pen of Rick Estrin<\/b>, \u201cI Got There!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe is perhaps the greatest R&B talent you\u2019ve never heard of, a practitioner of the blues and soul vocal arts since the 1950s. At 77 years old, he\u2019s lost none of his fire, passion, nor sheer majestic ability. He can roar about the darkest heartbreak like a mortally wounded soldier of love and then coax out a velvet-smooth line of last call seduction. Wielding that glorious microphone as he works the crowd\u2014part midway barker, part preacher in heat\u2014he still casts a powerful spell on the ladies out there in the dark, the ones sipping their Chablis and tonguing the salty rims of their peach margaritas.\u201d- Peter Gilstrap<\/b>, https:\/\/www.bynwr.com\/<\/span><\/p>\n “For Southern Soul Blues performed with grit, wit, and sartorial splendor, there is only one man to go to: Los Angeles-by-way-of-Louisiana singer Sonny Green.<\/b> Coming from the same emotional and musical place as his barroom-philosophizing contemporaries Johnny Taylor, Bobby Patterson, <\/b>and Little Milton.\u201d \u2013 Michael Hurtt, Ponderosa Stomp<\/b><\/p>\n Kevin Johnson, Proud Papa Promotions & Publicity,<\/b> delrayjohnson@yahoo.com<\/span><\/a>, 773.742.4327<\/p>\n<\/div>
