The Sextones [2023] - Here I Go Again [Record Kicks #RKDIGI113]


A new version of a long time modern soul favourite, "Here I Go Again", originally  recorded by Jean Plum (Bettye Jean Plummer) in 1976, was released by The Sextones on Friday (27 Jan 2023).

The song was co-written by Willie Mitchell, with Earl Randle and James Shaw and released on Hi in 1976. It was one of only three singles Plum released using that name although she released around five singles under her full name prior to that between 1967-73. None of her singles charted, but she is perhaps best known for "Look At The Boy" on Hi which also got a UK release on London.

You may recall Jimetta Rose' album last year ("The Gift - Around The Way Queen") which had a track titled "Still Here" that sampled the song.

The Sextones are quartet from Reno, Nevada formed as The Mark Sexton Band in 2007. They released two albums under that name ("Multifomity"  (2008) and "Listen Out" (2010)) and changed their name to The Sextones in 2015 releasing their first album using the name, "Moonlight Vision", in 2017.

The current line-up is Mark Sexton (guitar, vocals), his younger brother Chris (piano), Alexander Korostinsky (bass) and Daniel Weiss (drums) who have known each other since childhood.

This release is their debut for Record Kicks. Jean Plum's sultry vocal is swapped for Mark Sexton's airy falsetto.

Thanks to Bill Buckley (SoulAndJazzAndFunk) for bringing this one to our attention.
