DESCRIPTION:
Resonance Records celebrates the release of HOT COFFEY IN THE D: BURNIN' AT MOREY BAKER'S SHOWPLACE LOUNGE, never-before issued recordings from legendary Motown guitarist, Dennis Coffey, captured live in Detroit in 1968. One of the “Funk Brothers,” as featured in the Grammy award winning (soundtrack) documentary "Standing In The Shadows of Motown," Coffey has played with countless music icons from Quincy Jones to Barbra Streisand, and Michael Jackson to Stevie Wonder. "Hot Coffey in the D" was originally produced by Mike Theodore and Coffey, the same team that produced the recently rediscovered folk singer Rodriguez’s debut album "Cold Fact "(1970) and the soundtrack to the Academy Award winning documentary "Searching for Sugar Man." These recordings showcase Coffey in his prime, raw and unfiltered, with fellow Detroiters organist Lyman Woodard (former musical director for Martha Reeves & the Vandellas) and drummer Melvin Davis (Smokey Robinson, Wayne Kramer). The deluxe LP & CD packages feature striking cover art by acclaimed cartoonist and Metro Detroit native, BILL MORRISON (The Simpsons, Futurama), rare photos, as well as essays by veteran music journalist and album co-producer KEVIN GOINS, who interviewed Dennis Coffey, Melvin Davis and Mike Theodore for the project, Resonance producer Zev Feldman, and interviews with legendary entertainment industry executive CLARENCE AVANT and Detroit soul singer BETTYE LAVETTE.
