Hollis Dixon & The Keynotes – Go Away With Me (7")
€16.90*
Fame collectors know how rare this 45 is to find in the wild; it hardly
ever happens. ‘Go Away With Me’ is a fabulously, catchy dance number
from 1963 when the little-known Dixon wandered into the Fame Studios in
Muscle Shoals and laid these track down. It is one of Dan Penn’s very
early compositions and the nascent talent of the writer is in evidence
here. The tuneful self-penned ‘Time Will Tell’ flip reveals another
accomplished musical bent to the singer who, though he only cut two 45s,
was revered as a major Muscle Shoals influence by the likes of Jimmy
Johnson, Donnie Fritts and David Hood.
