There has been just so much good music around in the last week I'm still
catching up with some of the retro material. Here's another offering from
Colemine by Oliver James "One And Only" which will keep the 60s lovers and Northern Soul devotees happy alike.
However, some may be surprised to discover that he is white, although you'd
hardly guess from his voice and the production sounds very
authentic!
It appears to be the first recording by Oliver James who I believe is the
song's writer Oliver Ridenour who's
facebook
page I found which states that he hails from Lafyette, TN, and is a singer/songwriter at the legendary Fame Studios.
The song did appear last year (13 Jun) on the Colemine "Soul Slabs Vol. 3"
This is what Colemine says about him:
"Oliver James is a time capsule. Raised in a family of musicians and a
man who has been performing live since he was a child, Oliver comes to
his love of soul music in a most honest and authentic way. Growing up
listening to gospel, blues, and R&B from the classic early Stax era,
his influences as a musician, songwriter, and producer are clear. After
a stint working as a songwriter for Rick Hall, Mr. James is now set to
start his own career. Producing, editing, mixing, and performing
completely to tape, Oliver makes his mark with his debut single "One And
Only" on Colemine Records."
"One And Only" will also be released on 7" vinyl with "But For The Love" on the flip side which is available to pre-order from Colemine with a release date of 25 Mar 2022.
