Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Monday and all that\u2026<\/p>\n

The tune we open the week with is a certified Memphis burner, as well as one of the most interesting soul covers of a decidedly non-soul song.
\n\u2018Dang Me\u2019 was written and first recorded by Roger Miller<\/strong>, who had a big hit with it in 1964. If you\u2019re not familiar with the original head on over to Youtube and check it out.<\/p>\n

If you know it, then Sam Hutchins\u2019<\/strong> 1968 cover will likely blow your mind.<\/p>\n

Hutchins recorded a string of 45s for the Amy\/Bell\/Mala group between 1966 and 1969, before joining the Masqueraders<\/strong> and singing lead with them in the later part of their career.<\/p>\n

His version of \u2018Dang Me\u2019 was recorded in 1968, and produced by Chips Moman<\/strong> and Tommy Cogbill.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hutchins takes the laconic, wry delivery of Miller and lays a whole lot of soul onto it, with a hard hitting take on the song.<\/p>\n

The record starts out with some groovy organ before Hutchins drops in like a hammer, backed by a horn section and guitar. That would be enough for me, but right near the end of the record the arrangement takes an unexpected, and completely wonderful turn, dropping down into a much slower gospel-inflected passage that is really something else.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s become a fave of mine since I first heard it a few years ago, and I hope you dig it too.<\/p>\n

Until Wednesday\u2026<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
