Latimore: More More More Latimore [Glades, 1974]
After last year's covers of "Take Me to the Pilot," "So Much Love," and "For What It's Worth" I hoped I'd never run into the fellow again, but here he gets basic. His voice is too ordinary to put any of the three blues up with the Bland, King, or Mabon original. But he likes what he's singing so much that he doesn't have to go for the simulated high emotion of some fancy vocal embellishment--he just puts those lyrics across, intelligent and matter-of-fact, as if you've never heard them before, which maybe you haven't.
