Pat Lundy - Soul Ain't Nothin' But the Blues (1968)

One of Pat's earliest recordings – done for Columbia with a mixture of uptown soul and jazz arrangements, the former handled by Bert DeCoteaux, the latter done by Ray Bryant! John Hammond put the set together, obviously searching for another female soul talent after failing with Aretha Franklin – and the set's handled in a similar way to some of Franklin's stronger sides for Columbia. Includes the title cut, a great reading of the song "Soul Ain't Nothing But The Blues", plus the sublime uptown number "City Of Stone", and cuts that include "Through A Long & Sleepless Night", "Another Rainy Day", and "Does She Ever Remind You Of Me".
