Roy Cunningham Discography of CDs

Roy Cunningham songs Like Little Johnny Taylor, Eddie Hinton, and Bobby "Blue" Bland, singer Earl Gaines has a style that falls somewhere on the borderline between Southern-style blues and old-school urban soul/R&B. Gaines conveys the grit and passion of the blues while dressing it up in a suave, uptown Saturday night soul style. His debut for Ecko, NOTHIN' BUT THE BLUES, features more of what Gaines is known for--songs about cheating, the healing power of a good love, and tough lessons of the past, all put across by his rich, down-to-earth, big-as-outdoors soulful voice. Personnel: John Ward, Bobby Manuel (guitar); Jim Spake (horns); Curtis Jones (keyboards); Roy Cunningham (drums); Morris Williams, Brenda Williams (background vocals). Recording information: Ecko Sound Studios, Memphis, TN.

LIVE AT B.B. KING'S, L.A., finds the young six-string slinger tearing through a set of amped-up, Southern-fried barnburners with a band that rises to the occasion. The focus, naturally, is ...

Roy Cunningham discography Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1996, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). In the course of the Bar-Kays' 30-year career, the album given the least amount of recognition has been DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? Given the soulful, inspired playing featured here, this is unfortunate. On this early '70s release, The Bar-Kays' music is catchy, danceable and all around attention-grabbing. Younger generations may have missed out on this supergroup, but their musical ...
