Walter Jackson - Speak Her Name (Reissue) (1967/2007)

The final installment in Kent's trilogy of CDs featuring the complete surviving Okeh, Columbia and Epic masters finds Walter Jackson in New York in 1967-68, recording what many consider to be the best material of his entire career. Walter's repertoire ranges from his definitive readings of the UK Walker Brothers hit 'My Ship Is Coming In' and the Bacharach-David perennial 'The Look of Love', via the staggering 'suicide' song 'The Bed' to the Big City soul of 'No Butterflies'. These, Walter's other single-only releases from the period and the whole of his original Okeh album "Speak Her Name" are compiled here to produce a fitting finale to a wonderful series of CDs.
