Fans of the latter part of the 1960s might want to check out Feeling High: The Psychedelic Sound Of Memphis, which is released on Big Beat via Ace Records.
Memphis perhaps isn’t the kind of place you would necessarily associate with psych, soul maybe and country certainly. But it did have a decent track record back in the day.
The album showcases the production work of Jim Dickinson and James Parks, who used the local talent and their own skills to create a distinctive sound for both the area and the time. It was fairly niche then and is still niche now, hence why the vast majority of tracks on the album have not been issued before.
Complete with the kind of notes you would expect from an Ace compilation, it’s available to order now, released on 26th November 2012. It pre-orders for £11.46. Tracklisting below.
