Big Legal Mess

Sam Frazier, Jr., whose power as a southern soul vocalist is captured here in recordings he made between 1969 and 1971, never gained much traction in the charts, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. The topics range widely, and the interracial harmony theme of Black and White Love seems particularly apropos given Frazier’s comfort in the worlds of country and blues. The songs collected here demonstrate Frazier’s ability to tackle a wide variety of soul styles, though a commonality to his approach is restraint. “I’m not a shouter, you’ve got to sing with feeling,” explains Frazier, who expresses his admiration for Joe Simon, Bobby Womack, Arthur Alexander and Bobby Blue Bland, whose 1959 hit I’ll Take Care of You he covers here. All those artists recorded in the country-soul subgenre, which Frazier contributes to here via Low Down and Loneliness, the dobro-flavoured Mama Said She Ain’t Here, and I Got to Tell Someone. Frazier says that he still enjoys the songs collected here, and hopes that this release will result in the attention they deserved the first time around.
