That album is sooooo damn good. So glad I picked it up. To be honest, I'm pretty surprised I didn't read about it here first.
Right?
I read about it on a few blogs in early Dec but didn't get a chance to listen until now and I'm totally
so good...
O, you definitely seem to be a sucker for this kind of sound. First thing I thought of when I heard it was Bobby Reed "Time is right for Love", which you've of course championed a lot. Of course the Bobby Reed is much more polished in the recording, but still... this has a similar tone, with the treble clef piano chords & harmonizing vibraphone and the really heavy downbeat. are those guitar chords hitting on the downbeat in the Little Ann track?
...2:10-2:30 just kills

Ha, well, I was born in Michigan so maybe it's in the soil there.
by the way, first saw this on twitter and shouted at you. the track is also available on Dave Hamilton's Detroit Dancers comp as well, along with a couple other Little Ann tracks.
Word, I just realized that as well.
BTW: I never check my twitter feed. I just have it hooked into facebook so that I can update both at the same time.
Very latte pass really. Little Ann was found by 2 English guys from the northern soul scene Tats and Gilly about 10 years ago working in a motor factory in Detroit after they flew over to meet Dave Hamilton. Ady Croasdell at Kent then released many of the tracks on the album on 45/CD and flew Ann over to perform at Cleethorpes weekender, she was great, and very little, and very friendly and couldn't believe it was all happening. Sadly she passed away before this album was released, i'm sure she'd have been overjoyed to see it happen.
