Darkness Darkness [Import] on CD

Digitally remastered edition of the 1971 album from one of the most gifted guitarists ever to pick up the instrument. Upchurch had played with Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions and Jerry Butler, but headed to California to make a name for himself. This outstanding album was produced by Tommy LiPuma and was musically arranged by the late Donny Hathaway, who also provided much of the keyboard work here, along with the Crusaders' Joe Sample. Upchurch offers amazing renditions of the Youngbloods' "Darkness Darkness", Marvin Gaye's "Inner CIty Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" and James Taylor's "Fire & Rain".
