Ike & Tina Turner - Outta Season

1969 release, reissued

Includes the signature hit "I've Been Loving You Too Long"

Huband-and-wife soul duo Ike and Tina Turner produced an astounding string of hits during the 1960s and '70s, before Tina found the will to go solo. Unjustly overlooked at the time of its release, the duo's first blues album finds Tina's passionately powerful voice holding plenty of grit and Ike' guitar a restrained accompaniment throughout.

The take of Sonny Boy Williamson's "Crazy 'Bout You Baby" has gripping electric piano and buzzing blues harp and Ike's "Grumbling" is a killer guitar groove. A good mix of covers and originals, it shows how well the duo could work in the blues idiom. Another great LP for all Ike & Tina fans!
