A well-placed RnB reissue which cheekily pairs 2 of the gems from Maybelle's 50s recordings for the Okeh label. 'I've Got a Feelin' has been sought after on the mod scene for a good while and proven really rather difficult to track down, especially on its 45rpm format. With fantastic latin accented congas, swinging horn patterns and Maybelle’s dread-drenched vocals delivering a strong sense of foreboding, this is one of those tracks that really cuts through genre and scene fetishism and stands alone as a bloody brilliant record! On the other side we have 'Ocean of Tears', one of Maybelle’s more widely recognized sides and a true Rhythm and Blues masterpiece. A deep gospel feel is off-set by a really swinging rhythm and great horn parts, whilst Maybelle’s immense, gut-wrenching vocal is the Blues encapsulated. |
