The iconic SugarHill Recording Studios, also known as the ‘Abbey Road of the South’, celebrates is 70th year in business with a release of a tribute CD unlike other compilation available. ZenHill has teamed with the studio to bring release the project, lovingly recorded and produced by SugarHill Senior Engineer and resident historian Andy Bradley.
The two-volume set is packed with classic hit songs from the 50′s to the 2000′s that were originally recorded in the historic studio. SugarHill drew upon it’s long list of current artists and studio alumni to honor, reinterpret, and in some cases faithfully cover songs that defined the sounds coming through radios all over the world for the last seven decades. From Destiny’s Child to Freddie Fender, from The Moving Sidewalks, to The Sir Douglas Quintet you will hear familiar smash hits alongside songs that will reignite old memories, making you take to Wikipedia to find out more about the original release.
Roy Head returned to Studio A at SugarHill to record the new version of “Treat Her Right” nearly 40 years after the original session. On this CD he turns in, if possible, an even more energetic and possibly less inhibited version of the original. Johnny Bush, Glenna Bell, Moses Guest, Anita Kruse, John Evans, Southern Backtones, Jesse Dayton, El Orbits, Clouseaux, Drop Trio, Champion Sisters, Deniz Tek, Kenny Cordray, Bert Wills, Love Street, Row Zero, Kelly Schoppa, Vatos Locos, Classical Grass, Sleepy Labeef, Don Sanders, Johnny Falstaff, Jeff Chance and Randy Cornor and many more turn in brilliant performances, some faithful to the original, some radically reinterpreted. It is a great listen.
