Notes
Wright re-emerged in 1977 with Into Something (Can’t Shake Loose). It was his first album for Hi, although producer Willie Mitchell had overseen many of his Backbeat sides from the earlier days. For this comeback, the producer made sure Wright was supported by nothing but the best, from the Memphis Horns and Strings via the rhythm section of Grimes and all three Hodgeses to the background vocals of Rhodes-Chalmers-Rhodes. It’s an example of genuine Southern soul. Highlights include “I Feel Love Growin’,” the aforementioned medley, and the gospel-influenced title track with its chilling prologue. .
