Larry Marks - 13 [A Lost Lee Hazlewood Production] FULL ALBUM STREAM

Описание: I am a huge fan of Lee Hazlewood, and when I stumbled upon his album, "13", I was flabbergasted by what I was hearing. Lee, doing a funk/soul album? No baroque-country here. Weird. Well, anyway, I grew to love the record, and decided to do a bit more research on it. Apparently, it was never intended to be a Lee Hazlewood record. Instead, it was supposed to be performed by a man named Larry Marks. Larry Marks was an American singer who sang the original Scooby-Doo theme song. He became good friends with Lee, and they both mutually agreed to record an album. Larry would take several Lee Hazlewood songs and arrange them with a contemporary soul flair. By the early '70s, the record was basically done. However, LHI Records went bankrupt around the same time, and with the little resources he had remaining, Lee felt obligated to release an album. So what did he do? He scrapped Larry's original vocal takes and sang himself. And so, "13" was born.

Many decades later, the original tapes featuring Larry's vocals were found, and Light in the Attic decided to release them as a download for those that bought the reissued "13" on vinyl. It was incredible hearing Larry's versions for the first time, and I feel it was my duty to make Larry's versions more readily available to the general public.

Larry's version is very competently performed and arranged blue-eyed soul. It's missing Lee's sense of humor and unique baritone vocals, which honestly made 13 what it was. However, there is a great deal of enjoyment to be had with the album that could have been. This is Larry Marks' 13.

Toocie and the River was not recorded in its full arrangement with Larry's voice, so "Drums" was put in its place. "Cold Hard Times" is also present in this version. Otherwise, the track listing is unchanged.

This music is owned by LHI/Light in the Attic. I do not own this material.
