IKE & TINA TURNER Vinyl & CDs

Review: The late and undeniably great Tina Turner won her first solo Grammy nomination for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female at the 12th Annual Grammy Awards thanks to this album. It is often said to be a masterpiece of the era and is one of Ike and Tina's most blues-orientated albums. It came during the revival of those sounds in the 60s when bands like The Rolling Stones were obsessed with biting on the first wave of blues greats. The Hunter leads heavily on the Stax sound of the era with producer Bob Krasnow keeping things clean and simple. Electric blues guitarist Albert Collins features prominently through the nine classic tunes.
