Fenton Robinson ‎– Somebody Loan Me A Dime

€69,99

One of the most subtly satisfying electric blues albums of the ’70s. Fenton Robinson never did quite fit the “Genuine House rockin Music” image of Alligator Records — his deep, rich baritone sounds more like a magic carpet than a piece of barbed wire, and he speaks in jazz-inflected tongues, full of complex surprises. The title track hits with amazing power, as do the chugging “The Getaway,” a hard-swinging “You Say You’re Leaving,” and the minor-key “You Don’t Know What Love Is.” In every case, Robinson had recorded them before, but thanks to Bruce Iglauer’s superb production, a terrific band, and Robinson’s musicianship, these versions reign supreme.
